Happy Tuesday to you all! Today, I will be delivering my first article for OddsJam. I am very excited to start writing for OddsJam, and even more excited to give you all more free winning plays!

The Atlanta Braves have not started the season like the reigning World Series champions should.

The Braves are sitting at 23-26 on the season and 10 games behind the New York Mets in their division. Tonight, they are looking to bounce back after losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks last night.

They will be pitching Charlie Morton, who is 3-3 on the year with a 5.28 ERA.

Morton has struggled early this season but has started to perform better recently. He has also pitched against some of the top teams this year, so a matchup against the Diamondbacks can help him get back on track. 

The Diamondbacks are pitching Humberto Castellanos, who has struggled this year with a 5.22 ERA.

The Diamondbacks have outperformed this year due to their improvement in pitching thanks to Zac Gallen and Madison Bumgarner.

Tonight, they will not have either of those guys pitching, so I think this is a solid time to fade the Diamondbacks.

Let’s see the Braves bounce back tonight behind their veteran pitcher.

The Braves are capable of being one of the top teams in the league but have started out the season slow. Their bats should roll tonight, and Morton is due for a solid outing.
