Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Under between Atlanta and Toronto:
“Atlanta jumped out to an early 8-0 lead yesterday and use its pitching to set themselves up for a day of bullpen availability. Toronto has Kevin Gausman on the mound after an 8.0 innings performance in his previous start. I don’t think homers will be as frequent today and both pitchers can keep this low-scoring through five-to-six innings. It’s Under or pass for me.”
