Preview

The San Francisco Giants and the Atlanta Braves will play the 2nd game of the series at the Oracle Park on Tuesday night. The Giants took the win 3-2 in the first game of the series. The Giants got RBI singles from Willie Calhoun, Luis González and Thairo Estrada.

 

Atlanta Braves

The Braves get here with a 87-54 record and have won 7 their last 10 games. The team is averaging 4.96 runs per game. They're batting for .252 AVG, 596 runs scored in 1049 hits and 185 home runs, ranking #3 in offense in the league behind the NY Yankees. Austin Riley is leading the team with 31 home runs and 78 RBI while Dansby Swanson has the better batting average with .292. 

Defensively they are allowing 3.84 runs per game and rank #7 in the league. Max Fried leads the pitching staff with a 2.60 ERA, 133 strikeouts and 11 wins recorded with the Braves. 

Probable Pitcher:  Kyle Wright (17-5, 3.23 ERA)

Wright will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Braves. Wright pitched four innings, giving up eight runs on five hits and three walks while hitting two batters and striking out four in Tuesday's win over the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision. He is 1-0 with an ERA of 7.11 and 5 strikeouts in 2 appearances versus the Giants in his career.

San Francisco Giants

The Giants get here with a 68-73 record and have won their last 3 games. The team is averaging 4.40 runs per game and they're batting for .233 AVG, 591 runs scored in 1028 hits and 146 home runs, ranking #12 in offense in the league behind the Houston Astros. Joc Pederson leads the team with 21 home runs and 61 RBI. Thairo Estrada is batting for an average of .263.

Defensively they are allowing 4.45 runs per game and rank #18 in the league. Carlos Rodon leads the pitching staff with a 2.89 ERA, 201 strikeouts and 12 wins recorded.

Probable Pitcher:  Jakob Junis (4-5, 3.98 ERA)

Junis will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Giants. Junis took the loss Thursday against the Brewers after he allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings.

 

BETTING TRENDS

Atlanta are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games.

Atlanta are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against San Francisco.

The total has gone OVER in 8 of Atlanta's last 10 games on the road

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of San Francisco's last 6 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of San Francisco's last 7 games against Atlanta

 

Prediction

The Giants upset the Braves and have won 3 games in a row and they'll now face Kyle Wright who got rocked in his last start and allowed 4 runs the last time he faced the Giants. Jakob Junis will start for the Giants who has been up and down this season and hasn't faced the Braves in his career. The Braves have one of the best offenses in the MLB and it's hard to believe they will score 2 runs again so I expect more runs this time. Take the over.

PICK: Over 8 (-110)
