San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves Analysis
On Monday night, the Giants and the Braves are set to begin a four-game series. The Giants are coming off a 2-1 series win against the Pirates in Pittsburg and the Braves are coming off a 2-1 series loss against the Cubs in Chicago.
This is the first time these two teams are meeting this season. The Braves are -150 home favorites, the run line is 1.5, and the total is 8 runs for this matchup.
San Francisco Giants Betting Preview
The Giants are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they are playing great baseball this season. San Francisco is 37-28 on the season and they are three games behind the Dodgers for first place in the NL West. The Giants are 18-14 on the road this season and they are 9-5 against the run line as an underdog.
Logan Webb will make his 14th start of the season for the Giants. Webb is 6-2 with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. The Giants are 9-5 in games Webb has started this season. In his last three outings, Webb had two shaky starts, but his last start against the Royals was great.
He went 7 innings allowing no runs on five hits with nine strikeouts. The Braves have a .878 OPS in June which is third in the MLB and a .711 OPS at home which is fifth in baseball.
Atlanta Braves Betting Preview
The Atlanta Braves have been the talk of baseball in the month of June as they could not stop winning. The Braves dropped two games against the Cubs last week and they are 15-2 in their last 17 games.
Atlanta is 20-14 at home this season and they are 25-25 covering the run line as a favorite. The Braves are 5.5 games behind the Mets for first place in the NL East.
Max Fried will make the start for the Braves tonight. Fried is 7-2 on the season with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. The Braves are 9-4 in games Fried has started this season and they have won his last five starts.
In his last three starts, Fried has allowed five runs on 16 hits over 19.2 innings pitched. The Giants have a .723 OPS on the road this season and a .727 OPS against lefties.
San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves Prediction
This is a matchup of two very solid teams and two very solid pitchers. Both the Braves and the Giants are not only in the Wild Card hunt but are looking to gain ground within their divisions.
Despite how good the Braves and Max Fried have been, I am taking the Giants on the run line. The Giants are 9-5 covering the run line as an underdog and I expect them to stay in this game.
