Key Stats
Atlanta Braves
Max Fried will get the start for the Braves today. Fried is 0-0 with a 40.50 ERA and one strikeout. Orlando Arcia leads the team with a .458 batting average, 11 hits, and an OBP of .500. Marcell Ozuna has blasted three home runs, and Ozzie Albies has recorded seven RBIs.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks are expected to start Brandon Pfaadt for today’s game. Pfaadt has started the season 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA and six strikeouts. Eugenio Suarez leads the team with a .355 batting average, and Ketel Marte has collected 12 hits. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has tallied 11 RBIs, while Christian Walker has hit three home runs.
Game Prediction
It’s hard to bet against Atlanta, considering how well they have been playing. Max Fried is coming off a less-than-stellar performance and now faces a D’Backs lineup that has been rolling to start the season. I am interested in seeing how Brandon Pfaadt does against this stacked Braves lineup. If this game were in the desert, I would roll with Arizona, but it’s not, and Atlanta is nearly impossible to beat at home. Back the Braves to clinch the series in this one.
Final Pick
Atlanta Braves ML (-205)
