Free Braves vs. Yankees MLB Pick

Marcus Stroman has struggled in two of his last three starts, and walks have been an issue of late for the Yankees hurler. New York is coming in as the favorite on the money line, but I see the Braves picking up a win in this one. At +122, I like Atlanta on the money line.
