Key Stats
Atlanta Braves
Chris Sale will get the start for the Braves today. Sale is 0-0 with a 3.38 ERA and seven strikeouts. Orlando Arcia leads the team with a .393 batting average, 11 hits, and an OBP of .433. Marcell Ozuna has blasted four home runs and collected ten RBIs.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks are expected to start Ryne Nelson for today’s game. Nelson has started the season 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA and two strikeouts. Ketel Marte leads the team with a .368 batting average, three home runs, and has collected 14 hits. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has tallied 11 RBIs, while Christian Walker has hit three home runs, and Eugenio Suarez has amassed an OBP of .410.
Game Prediction
Atlanta is rolling right now, and while the pitching has been sketchy, the offense is red-hot. With Sale pitching today, the Diamondback’s offense will likely struggle. Ryne Nelson needs a bounce-back performance, but this is not a favorable matchup. We have been all over the Braves in this series, and they have not let us down, so let’s rerun it. Back Atlanta to tally another win and sweep the series.
Final Pick
Atlanta Braves ML (-205)
