The Atlanta Braves roll into Rate Field tonight at 7:40 carrying a scorching 45-23 record, one of the best marks in baseball, while the Chicago White Sox are hanging around at 36-31 — respectable, but they've got no business being favorites here. Vegas agrees, installing Atlanta at -124 with the over/under sitting at 8.5, so oddsmakers are expecting some runs to cross the plate before this one's over.

The heart of the Atlanta order has been absolutely raking lately, and if their starter can get through six or seven deep, that bullpen is plenty capable of closing it out. Bold call: the Braves go yard at least twice tonight and cover the run line on the road.
