Re: MLB: August 14th Picks Atlanta -1.5 @ 2.40 pinnacle Beachy is 5-2, with a 3.43 ERA as he has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts, and just 7 runs in his last 4 home starts. He has not faced the Cubs before but like him to get some runs support as Uggla in particular looks to extend his hitting streak. Garza is 5-9, with a 3.81 ERA as he too has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts, but has allowed 6 runs in 2 of his last 3 road starts. Though he faces Atlanta for the first time, a number of the Braves batters have seen him before and have hit him well. Both teams are in form but like Atlanta here to beat the Cubs as they look to narrow the deficit in the NL East Chicago White Sox -1.5 @ 2.36 pinnacle Danks is 4-9, with a 4.00 ERA as he has allowed 4 runs in each of his last 2 starts wen he had allowed a total of 4 runs in his previous 6 starts. Like him to bounce back here as he is 2-0 with a 1.40 ERA in 6 starts against Kansas, as he allowed just 5 hits in the 2-1 road loss last month. Francis is 4-12, with a 4.51 ERA as he has allowed 4 runs in 3 of his last 5 starts, including 2 of his last 3 road starts. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits in the 5-4 road loss to the White Sox, but like them to get to him here as they look to gain further ground in the AL Central August picks: 24-36 (-5.28) July picks: 54-62 (+3.14) June picks: 53-72 (-2.95) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
