Braves Pitching is Elite

The Braves pitching is really hitting it’s stride coming into this Game. The Braves sit with a 78-42 record overall and over their last two Games against the New York Yankees they gave up zero runs total. On Wednesday Charlie Morton went six innings giving up four hits and zero runs. He had ten strikeouts, and the pitching has been impressive. The Braves are averaging 5.85 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.12 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 1st while the pitching is ranked 8th. On the mound for the Braves will be Spencer Strider who sits with a 13-4 record and an ERA of 3.75. In his last start against the Mets he went seven innings giving up three hits and zero runs. 

Giants Struggle against the Rays

The Giants really struggled against the Rays and they lost two of the three Games. In the two losses the offense only managed three runs, and they need to find a way to get the offense going here. This is a team that looks like they can make some noise in the playoffs, but at times they also look like a team that could be shutout in the playoffs and the season ends early. The Giants are averaging 4.35 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.25 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 19th while the pitching is ranked 10th.

Shane’s Free pick

Strider has been impressive this season and in his last start he gave up zero runs. The Giants bats have been ice cold heading into this game and they are going to really struggle again in this game. The Braves are going to give Strider enough run support here, and that is going to be the difference as the Braves are going to open up this series with a victory. Back the Braves on the money line.
