This weekend’s top National League MLB betting matchups might not seem familiar. Going into the season, did anyone believe that Arizona vs Atlanta might mean something? In addition to AZ versus the ATL, we also look at the Angels battling the Dodgers in an interleague throw down while Cincy takes on St. Louis.
Sunday’s Arizona game appears to favor the Braves. The ATL starts pitcher Julio Teheran, who does have a decent 4.26 ERA. Teheran is a good pitcher while Patrick Corbin, AZ’s starter, has slid under the radar this season.That’s too bad because Corbin has been great in 2018. His 3.09 ERA is fantastic. Colorado beat Corbin up in his last start. No worries. Atlanta bats less than .180 versus the D’Backs’ Sunday starter.Corbin and Arizona should handle the Braves by at least 2 runs on July 15.MLB Betting Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks at Atlanta Braves
Arizona listed starter Zach Greinke has a 3.35 ERA to go along with a 1.15 WHIP. Greinke heads to Atlanta after a less than stellar performance where he didn’t make it to the fifth inning. Does that mean the Atlanta Braves have a shot?It most definitely means the Braves have a shot. The Braves are on a 4 game losing streak when Saturday’s starter Sean Newcomb hits the mound, though. No problem. Eventually, streaks end. Atlanta’s Newcomb streak should end on July 14.MLB Betting Pick: Atlanta BravesCincinnati at St. Louis
Cincinnati starter Luis Castillo has been in decent form. In his last, he didn’t pitch that well, lasting only 4 innings versus the Cubs and yielding 3 runs in the process, but before that the Reds had gone 3 and 0 in his last 3 starts.However, Cincinnati and Castillo usually get on winning streaks and losing streaks. There’s a good chance that even if he pitches well, the Reds could have trouble versus the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.MLB Betting Pick: St. Louis CardinalsSunday, July 15
