First Place Atlanta Braves
Jared Shuster will get the start for the Atlanta Braves in this game. This will be the 10th start of the season for Schuster. He is 4-2 on son, with a 5.00 earned run average. His last start was on June 24th against the Reds in Cincinnati. Schuster went 3.2 innings and allowed seven hits and four runs in the game.
Austin Riley was the man of the game on Saturday, as he hit his 30th home run of the season in the win. The Braves just continue to hit the baseball out of the ballpark as the best home run-hitting team in the league.
Atlanta has nine guys with double-digit home runs on the season, with Matt Olson leading the way with 43. Max Fried came back from being injured earlier in August and pitched six strong innings for Atlanta.
The Braves are going to continue their road trip with visits to Colorado and Los Angeles before coming home to host the Cardinals on September 5th.
Struggling San Francisco Giants
San Francisco has seen some big-time struggles as of late, with four losses in their last five games and seven losses in their last nine. In the seven more recent losses, the Giants have scored just a total of 17 runs. San Francisco has dropped to 22nd in runs with 551 runs while they are batting .239 as a team.
Tristan Beck is slated to get the start for the Giants. Beck will make his first start. He is 3-2 on the season, 3.34 all out of the bullpen. The last time he pitched was August 23rd in Philadelphia, where he went one scoreless inning. Over his last three outings, Beck has allowed two hits in five innings pitched.
The Giants are set to finish the month of August at home against the Reds following this and then go on the road for seven straight games at the Padres and the Cubs.
Braves Sweep Giants
In a game where the pitching matchup is full of a couple of pitchers who are not quite known for their ability to go deep in the game, both teams are going to need strong bullpens.
Also, the bats should come alive in a game like this. This is where we go with the team with the better offense and the ability to hit the ball out of the ballpark. That is also the best team in Major League Baseball.
This is a game where you bet on the Atlanta Braves at the -110 and know you are making the right bet. Take Atlanta -110.
