4 Unit Play. Take Under 9.5 between the Atlanta Braves @ Washington Nationals (Sunday @ 1:35pm). Indeed, the Atlanta Braves have an outside shot at the playoffs. With the Cardinals coming off back to back wins in Colorado, the Braves have inched closer to the wild card spot just 2.5 games back. One can only imagine if Tulowitski doesn't hit that walk off home run earlier this week, my Braves would be just one game back. Nevertheless, the Braves are right there amazingly given the injuries this season. With Lowe on the mound, the Braves are really looking at him to help sweep the Nats this afternoon. I like the fact that Hernandez is on the mound as well as he comes off getting rocked against the Dodgers at home and that was a bit predicted. Hernandez gave up eight runs in that game but after two quality starts he has been having a let down start. I look to him have another quality start (and his next start to likely be quality as well). With the Braves eyeing the playoffs and needing a good start from Lowe here and Hernandez helping prevent the sweep for his team and coming off a bounce-back, I like this game to stay in the single digits. The Under is 7-1 for the Braves when the total is set at this range and the Under is 4-1-1 for the Nationals when they face a pitcher with a WHIP of greater than 1.30.
