Atlanta bounced back from a challenging series against the Dodgers with a 3-0 win over Miami on Friday night. First baseman Matt Olson continued his hot start to the season, driving in a pair of insurance runs late in the game. Miami has now scored one run or fewer in three of its last four games and is 36-72 against Atlanta dating back to 2016. The Braves are listed as -160 favorites (risk $160 to win $100) on Saturday in the latest MLB odds at Caesars Sportsbook.
Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson allowed one run on two hits and one walk across 5.2 innings against San Diego his last time out, which is a huge improvement after allowing five runs over 2.2 innings against Cincinnati to open the year. Meanwhile, Miami’s Elieser Hernandez matched his career high by throwing six innings against Philadelphia on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits.

After simulating each of Saturday’s games 10,000 times, the model likes Tampa Bay, a -130 favorite, to beat Boston. The Rays were without hot-hitting Wander Franco earlier this week due to hamstring tightness, but he has returned to the lineup. Franco became the youngest player in Tampa Bay history to homer twice in a game when he did so on Friday night.
The 21-year-old is batting .421 with three home runs, three doubles, five runs and six RBIs over his last four games. J.P. Feyereisen will start for Tampa Bay after five scoreless appearances so far this season. He is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA in five career relief outings against the Red Sox, which is one reason why SportsLine’s model has Tampa Bay winning well over 60 percent of the time.
