Braves vs Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 4, Brewers 3

Money line

THE BRAVES (+100) should be able to overcome their starting pitching disadvantage. They are coming off two straight wins against the Mets, outscoring New York 13-2. While their rookie starting pitcher has made just 10 major league relief appearances, he has nearly 10 years of minor league experience to draw on.

Milwaukee’s offense has struggled recently, especially since the loss of All-Star offensive player Christian Yelich (back) Tuesday. The Brewers have scored 3 runs or fewer in 5 of their last 6 outings and were nearly swept in 3 games by the Marlins, the 2nd worst team in the National League.

BET ON THE BRAVES (+100).

Racing Line/Against the Spread

Atlanta +1.5 (-210) is too expensive to play, especially since the line has a very high take.

PASSBet instead on the ML and/or the total.

More less

That total seems a bit high. Rea has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 4 of his last 5 outings, and Milwaukee’s offense has allowed just 2.67 runs over the last 6 games. Holmes might be expected to give up a lot of runs since he’s making his first MLB start, but he comes in with a lot more experience than the average starting pitcher.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).
