Julio Teheran dominated the Miami Marlins once again in a 5-0 shutout Wednesday night. The Atlanta Braves right-hander allowed only five hits while striking out nine in his seven scoreless innings of work.

"I think he has," 92-9 The Game's Braves insider Joe Patrick said.

"He's just a guy that you can rely on, and I think when it comes down to deciding whether to pay a guy $12 million, I think that's worth it," said Patrick. "Especially for the Braves right now and just all the favorable contracts that they have in hand already. That's a number they'd be willing to sign up for another year because of the stability that he gives you."
