Pittsburgh Pirates @ Atlanta Braves
Sometimes a price demands a Back in baseball. Pittsburgh are scrapping it out at the head of things and McDonald has been strong recently. This is a massive series in the NL and 2.8 is just too big to resist.
However, set against that are McDonald's shakier numbers on the road, Atlanta's dominance of the Bucs at Turner Field and Hudson's form.
It's a real punt, so I'll keep this as a small bet, but the price for the Braves is no value and the Totals are equally unappealing.
Pick: Pirates @ 2.8
