Diamondbacks vs Braves MLB Betting Preview
The Diamondbacks and Braves will duke it out on Saturday afternoon to conclude a three-game set at Truist Park in Atlanta.
Bryce Elder will start for Atlanta, while Michael Soroka will start for Arizona.
Diamondbacks vs Braves Pick, Betting Analysis
Soroka has had a great season, running a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 16 starts.
Meanwhile, while he’s often been inconsistent, Elder has flashed at times this season. Although he allowed seven earned runs in his most recent start against the Mets, he posted a 1.88 ERA in the four starts prior.
I think runs will be at a premium in this game, especially early on.
