Braves (+142) to defeat Dodgers The Braves are starting Bryce Elder, who has allowed just one earned run in four of his last five starts. He's coming off allowing one run over six innings to the Diamondbacks on Sunday, lowering his ERA to 3.92 on the season. The Dodgers have won six straight, but those came against the Pirates and Rockies, and they are 2-11 in their last 13 games against winning teams. The Braves are 76-55 this season. The model projects the Braves to win in 52% of simulations compared to their implied odds of 41.3%, creating value in Atlanta to win on Tuesday.

Storyline:Can anyone stop Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies? Philadelphia arrives in Seattle riding an incredible nine-game winning streak, capped by an insane 9th-inning, 6-run rally yesterday that featured a walk-off bomb from Schwarber (who leads MLB with 39 homers). Tonight features an elite pitching matchup as Phillies ace Zack Wheeler (10-4, 2.92 ERA) squares off against the Mariners' Logan Gilbert (10-7, 3.35 ERA). Seattle is trying to protect their razor-thin edge in an incredibly tight, chaotic AL West race.
