The National League East has two solid MLB betting picks on Wednesday and they are both in the game between the Phillies and the Braves.
The betting picks will take place in the MLB game between the Philadelphia Phillies (39-34) and the Atlanta Braves (35-40) and we have recommended bets on both the money line and the over/under run total.
Bookmaker.com has the home-team Braves as the betting picks here at a line of -115 with a total currently set for 8 runs. The total has seen minimal movement but it appears that the early money has been on the Braves after the line opened at close to a pick 'em.
Lefty Cole Hamels (4-4, 4.44 ERA) will look to continue to build on turning his season around after an early season injury-marred campaign left him looking all too hittable.
The youngster is still working out the kinks but has put some dominant efforts in lately and has pitched very well in Atlanta throughout his career. With the Braves hitting just .249 over their last 10 MLB games, you should expect Hamels to do well here.
Atlanta will counter with right-handed start Jair Jurrjens (5-6, 2.93 ERA) and it won't be easy for the Phillies to hit him considering they are very cold and have hit just .226 over the course of their last 10 games.
Jurrjens has been dominant against the Phillies over the course of his career and his ability to limit the home run is a great asset to have against a team with as much power as the Phillies possess.
The MLB betting picks here have to be the Braves and the under. Look for Jurrjens to dominate and Hamels to give up just a few runs with the game ending in a 4-1 Atlanta victory. Make your MLB betting picks at Bookmaker.com.
