Look of the Day for Tuesday 4/9: Braves to feast on Mets' pitching

We were unable to start the week off with a Look of the Day winner, but we're feeling good about a bounce-back cash. We're going right back to the diamond for our favorite bet on Tuesday's MLB slate.  

Look of the Day: Atlanta Braves team total over 5.5 (+100 FanDuel)

You can never go wrong betting on the best lineup in the National League. The Braves rank No. 1 in MLB this season in runs per game (7.0), batting average (.303), OPS (.891) and wOBAcon (weighted on-base average on contact). Sensing a theme here? 

The Braves have gone over 5.5 runs in six of their 10 games this year, and they're staring down a juicy matchup on Tuesday night. 

The New York Mets will be rolling with right-hander Adrian Houser, who doesn't have many great memories against the Braves. Houser is 0-4 in his career against Atlanta with a 4.88 ERA. He gave up nine total runs in two matchups last season. 

In 98 career matchups against current Braves hitters, Houser has given up a .322 batting average and a .372 xwOBA. The Mets also used five pitchers out of the bullpen in Monday's game against the Braves, so they will be short a few arms in this contest.
