Atlanta Braves vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

The Atlanta Braves just took two of three from the Brewers on the road and now get them at home. Still, this line is nuts. You could argue the Brewers are the better team at this very moment, and I think it’s fair to say Colin Rea has been better than Bryce Elder. Elder has been a mess for much of the season, and almost all of his struggles have come at home. The Brewers and the plus money has to be one of the better value plays on Tuesday’s MLB card.
