Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves
Atlanta Braves -107
1 Unit Bonus Play on Braves -107 (action)
The Phillies are just 2-9 in their last 11 overall. Their struggles will continue tonight against a very good home Braves club. The Braves are 35-16 in their last 51 games following an off day, 18-8 in their last 26 games as a home favorite, and 37-16 in their last 53 home games. It also plays right into Atlanta's hands that they will be facing a righty as the Braves are 21-8 in their last 29 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Take Atlanta tonight at home in this divisional showdown.

MLB
Game: Washington at Florida (7:10 PM
Pick: Florida -137 (moneyline)
The Nats have never been a good road team and this season is no different. Washington have posted an 8-18 mark on the road against .500+ teams, and are just 11-22 overall in their last 33 games. Collin Balester will make his Major League debut tonight for the Nats, but his numbers at AAA Columbus aren't outstanding. He has pitched to a 4 ERA and allowed 14 HR'S in just 78 innings. Like the Marlins at home here.
WNBA
Game: New York at Los Angeles (3:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: New York +9 (-110)
The Los Angeles Sparks now own the best record in the WNBA at 10-4 and have played well for the entire season. They have dropped two of their last four however, including an inexcusable loss to Washington at home their last time out. This is a good team, but we question the lofty pointspread issued for this game and we find value on the visiting Liberty. The Spark has had five double-digit wins on the entire season in their 14 games to date, and just one of those has been to a team with a .500 record or higher, so this line comes into question here. The Liberty has struggled within their own conference, but has been more than competitive against the West, where they own a 4-1 mark on the season. We look for the Liberty to hang around in this one.
