Why we like the Braves on Thursday at +105...We like the Braves at home to start their season on the winning foot with their ace on the bump in Julio Teheran.Teheran comes into this opener after posting a 1.40 era through 25 spring training innings while posting a 4-0 record. Normally, we wouldn't put as much value in spring training innings but Teheran has proven consistency over his last few starts heading into this game. Going back to 2017, Teheran opened his season allowing 0 runs through 13 innings over his first two starts. Offensively, this current Phillies lineup has a combined 141 ABs off of Teheran while posting a combined .220 average with 2 HRs. On the Phillies side, Aaron Nola will be facing this Braves lineup. Nola comes into this game after posting a respectable 3.50 era through 18 Spring Training innings. This Braves lineup has a combined 79 ABs off of Nola with a .253 average and 3 HRs. With both teams coming off of below .500 Spring Training records, look for this Braves team to come out and fight for a W in front of their home crowd.
