Best bets for Wednesday, Aug. 26
The NL East-leading Braves fired the opening salvo in their showdown with the NL West-leading Dodgers, winning Tuesday's opener of the three-game series, 4-3. That was just their fourth victory in their past 11 games, and now AJ Smith-Shawver (0-0, 6.23 ERA) will take the mound for Atlanta. The right-hander hasn't earned a decision in allowing nine runs over two starts (8 2/3 innings) since coming back from Tommy John surgery. The Dodgers are expected to go with righty Roki Sasaki (5-5, 4.42 ERA). The teams are currently fighting for the second-best record in the NL behind the Brewers, who have a one-game lead over the Dodgers. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, has the Braves covering the +1.5 run line in 70% of its simulations.
In the AL, several teams are streaking, with the Red Sox and Guardians both battling hard in their wild-card races. Cleveland has a one-game cushion as it holds the final wild-card spot and enters Wednesday afternoon's game with the Angels on a six-game win streak. Boston has won five in a row to move within 1.5 games of the Yankees for the top wild-card spot and takes on the Marlins on Wednesday. The Red Sox have to like their chances with Sonny Gray (16-3, 2.79 ERA) on the mound against fellow right-hander Ryan Gusto (0-3, 4.37 ERA). The SportsLine model has Miami winning 43% of the time as plus-money underdogs and has a strong play on the total, with Over 7.5 hitting 62.9% of the time.
