Guardians vs. Braves Picks
Money Line Pick for Guardians vs. Braves
- Cleveland Guardians ML (4 Units)
The Guardians have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively, and they’ve had a lot of success batting against left-handers. Perex struggled in his last start, giving up four runs in the loss. He has also struggled against Cleveland, giving up at least three runs in two of his last three starts against them. With Atlanta’s bullpen also struggling in recent games, expect them to have a hard time slowing them down in this game.
Atlanta won’t be as successful offensively because Parker has been dominant on the mound so far, giving up only one run in his two starts. Their bullpen is also playing better than Atlanta’s, so expect them to keep their offense in check. Take Cleveland on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Guardians vs. Braves
- Under (4 Units)
The Guardians average 3.54 runs per game. They’re batting .240 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up six runs in his last three starts against them. The Braves average 5.08 runs per game. They’re batting .259 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up one run in two starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Braves and Guardians played under the total in five of their last seven meetings.
