AccuScore Selection #1:

Atlanta Braves -115 (@ Philadelphia Phillies)
David Buchanan vs Shelby Miller

The Braves have now lost four in a row, after being handed a 1-0 defeat by the Phillies last night. That match was filled with errors and bad at bats by the Braves, while Phillies had a solid showing and great pitching. However, we expect this to change tonight. Shelby Miller has the edge over David Buchanan, and Braves are likely to have more successful at bats tonight. AccuScore supercomputers have the Braves winning 61.4% of the 10 000 simulations, which presents great value at -115 (53.49%).

Braves are 3-0 with Miller starting and 4-3 vs an opponent with a losing record.
Phillieas are 0-3 with Buchanan starting and 2-5 vs an opponent with a winning record.

AccuScore Selection #2

San Diego Padres +105 (vs Los Angeles Dodgers)
Ian Kennedy vs Brandon McCarthy

The Padres have struggled to score lately and the pitcher Zach Greinke added to their misery in last nights’ 0-3 defeat in the hands of the Dodgers. However, San Diego had a good defensive game and had a few decent at bats to go with it. AccuScore simulations project Padres gaining a small edge at 53% chance at winning. With oddsmakers having Dodgers as favorites, +105 presents good value as opposed to -112 suggested by AccuScore supercomputer.
Dodgers are 2-5 on the road and 2-5 as road favorites, the Padres are 5-3 at home.
