Betting Trends for vs
This is a battle of the rookie pitchers for these respective teams, but this comes down to the better bats which is why I am backing the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have received production from some unlikely sources as of recent as Dansby Swanson and Travis d’Arnaud lead the team with 2 HRs, but they aren’t the only Atlanta hitters who have impacted the postseason as Acuna Jr., Ozuna, and Duvall have all gone yard. The Atlanta Braves are hoping Kyle Wright is on his A-game, and he did end the regular season on a positive note as he gave up 2 earned runs in his last 2 starts. Atlanta is just the better overall team in this series, and their bats will make up for Wright and the young struggles. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win 6-4.
