BETTING TRENDS
San Francisco are 0-8 SU in their last 8 games against LA Braves.
San Francisco are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
San Francisco are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against LA Braves.
LA Braves are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games.
LA Braves are 13-2 SU in their last 15 games at home.
Prediction
The Braves continue to stay hot scoring 21 runs in the last 2 games and have dominated the Giants at home this season. For this game Spencer Strider will take the mound who has been solid this season and the Braves have won in 8 of his 10 starts this season including the 8-2 victory vs Giants. Alex Cobb will start for the Giants who was solid in his last start but has had his up and downs this season. Webb was pounded by the Braves the last time but he dominated them before that so expect him to be better this time. Take the under.
PICK: Under 6.5 (-110)
