Joe Wiz MLB Monday: two hottest teams in baseball meet Monday, as NY Yankees visit Atlanta Braves

How often do you get a Major League Baseball matchup of the two hottest teams?

Well, you are getting that tonight, as the red-hot New York Yankees visit even hotter (white-hot, or maybe blue-hot) Atlanta.

The Braves have taken control of the National League East going 16-2 over their last 18 games, and come in with a nine-game winning streak. The Yankees have also won nine in a row, and have moved into the top AL Wild Card spot.

The pitching matchup is Jordan Montgomery vs Huascar Ynoa, with the Braves' starter coming into the contest with a low ERA. But the Yankees have woken up at the plate, and could be the play here.

As always, I use PlaySugarHouse.com / BetRivers.com for all of my lines and action.

And remember to tune in to The Feinline (60 minutes of sports betting advice) Fridays from 12-1 a.m. and Saturday mornings from 8-9 a.m. on 98.7 FM ESPN NY and the app.
