Braves 6, Yankees 4

Money line

The Braves have won 4 straight games against the Yanks and allowed 4 total runs in the process.

Peg Morton has been in better shape lately than Stroman, and the Atlanta right-hander has a repertoire of curveball changes that is cutting into some of New York’s batting deficits.

Since June 13, Atlanta is 7-1 with an OPS of .872. The Braves have hit multiple back-and-forths in 5 of those games, and they’re a pick to click against the struggling Yankees on a warm and humid night in the Bronx.
