“We fought,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. “We obviously couldn’t throw anything at him. All three walks, you have a chance with two outs, but he gets through it. And then he just kept hitting runs and throwing a lot of different pitches.

Full Game Side Bet

Rating:

This should be a close and evenly matched battle for much of the game. Detroit’s Reese Olson will cross the Braves lineup once or twice without much trouble. The Braves are hitting .233 this month and .231 against the American League. The difference will lie in the Tigers’ offense and the weakness of their shots. They’re just .236 in road games, but Atlanta’s .263 average at home will make a difference. Expect a few Atlanta homers to make the difference in a low-scoring affair.

Take the Braves with the running line.

Prediction: Atlanta Braves -1.5

Total choice of the complete game

Rating:

The Tigers will start Reese Olson, who has a 3.97 ERA in road games. Olson can keep opposing attacks at bay. The Braves offense has not played well against the American League as they have a .231 batting average against them. Detroit’s offense was nonexistent when Olson started, averaging 2.3 points in his 13 appearances.

Take the bottom on Monday.

Prediction: less than 8 races
