The Braves make their second straight appearance in this article with another matchup against San Diego. It was a bad day on Tuesday for Ronald Acuna and Austin Riley, who combined for an 0-9 showing. This does show the value of team stacks, though, as Matt Olson and Sean Murphy finished 3-for-8 with four RBI and five runs scored. They will face reliever Nick Martinez who allowed four earned runs against Atlanta earlier this season.
The Braves are -120 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Padres are the narrow +100 underdog, and the run total is set at nine.

Even though the Rangers have some power missing from their lineup on the IL, that doesn’t mean they lose all of their value. Texas will take on Brady Singer, who enters with a 1-1 record and a 7.88 ERA. The Rangers have won three straight games and have scored at least nine runs in two of them.
The Royals are the -115 favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Rangers are technically the underdog despite having -105 odds. The run total is set at 9.5.
