The Atlanta Braves were seeing better than 90% of the betting action in their evening game hosting the Baltimore Orioles. This line has dropped though from -190 to -176.
Baltimore has won the last five meetings, keeping in mind that these teams haven't faced one another since 2015.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Alex Cobb (2-9, 7.14 ERA) vs. Braves LH Sean Newcomb (8-2, 2.70)

Cobb signed a four-year deal with the Orioles late in spring training but has endured a miserable first season, posting a 1.71 WHIP while allowing 13.1 hits per nine innings.
The 25-year-old Newcomb has emerged as a bona fide All-Star candidate in his first full major-league season, entering Thursday third in the NL in wins and hits per nine innings (6.5), and seventh in ERA.
The books appear to believe Cobb will have a solid start here based on the line movement.
