Atlanta Braves vs. Seattle Mariners Pick
I love this bounce-back spot for the Braves today.
Sale is throwing the ball great early in the season, and is facing a Mariners lineup due for regression.
On the flip side, the Brave's bats are due to breakout, and Hancock has struggled early in the season.
Acuna is a sprinkle play here due to the value.
The All-Star has only blasted one long ball this year, and he will get rolling sooner rather than later.
