Picks and predictions for the Tigers at the Braves

Prediction

Braves 7, Tigers 6

Money line

PASS.

I expect the Braves to win as home favorites (-165), but the line is simply too risky to bet on. Instead, bet on the race line and/or the total.

Running Line/Against the Spread

SKINNY TIGERS +1.5 (-140).

Detroit has covered the spread in its last 2 meetings against Atlanta and has lost by 1 point in 3 of its last 6 losses overall.

This is a very slight trend as the Tigers are just 33-39 ATS this season.

More less

BET OVER 9.5 (-115).

Over/Under is by far the safest play for this game.

The Over has scored in 3 of Atlanta’s last 4 games. For Detroit, the Over is 6-4 in their last 10 games and 40-29-3 this season. The Over has also scored in 6 of the last 7 Detroit-Atlanta matchups.

Know that the Under is 40-27-3 for Atlanta this season.
