Heading into today’s National League matchup between Atlanta and Arizona, I expect the Braves to bounce back with a win. In Dakota Hudson’s last 5 outings, Atlanta is just 1-4. However, Atlanta’s highest offensive output in these games is just 4 runs. On the other side, over his past 4 starts, Madison Bumgarner has seen his ERA rise from 1.78 to 3.35. I like the Braves on the moneyline.
