Braves vs Giants Pick & Prediction
Last time out, Atlanta evened the series up with a 5-1-win Tuesday. The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, with a Joc Pederson RBI single, but that was the last we saw of the San Francisco bats. Atlanta quickly tied the game up in the top of the second, with a Robbie Grossman fielder’s choice, and then blew the game open in the top of the third with three runs. The Braves added another insurance run with a Dansby Swanson RBI single in the top of the ninth inning. Atlanta outhit San Francisco 10-4 in this one.
Dansby Swanson went 2-5 with one home run, three RBIs and one run scored in the win. Michael Harris II went 2-4 with one double, one RBI and one run scored for Atlanta. Mike Yastrzemski had the only extra base hit for San Francisco, a double in the bottom of the first. Kyle Wright improved to 18-5 and Jakob Junis fell to 4-6 on the season.
Pitching Matchup: Charlie Morton (8-5, 4.08 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) vs Carlos Rodon (12-8, 2.93 ERA, 1.05 WHIP)
Tonights Pick:
Atlanta has been hot as they are 9-3 in their last 12 games and 14-5 in their last 19 games on the road. Against San Francisco, the Braves are 5-2 in their last seven games and are 6-1 in their last seven against an opponent in the National League. San Francisco is just 3-6 in their last nine games but are 4-1 in their last five home games.
This is a fun pitching matchup and I like Atlanta to earn the series win.
