Braves vs Brewers MLB Betting Preview
Atlanta Braves Betting Preview
The Braves (75-55) will try to avoid the sweep against the Brewers in a neutral venue in the Little League Classic at BB&T Ballpark.
Atlanta is ice-cold at the plate, combining for four runs in their last three games.
They'll send out veteran right-hander Tyler Mahle for Sunday Night Baseball, whom they acquired at the deadline.
Mahle has given up two earned runs or fewer in three consecutive outings and four of his last five.
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Brewers (81-49) will try to complete the sweep against the Braves, a team they may very well face in the NLCS.
Milwaukee has now won three in a row and seven of their last 10 games.
They'll send out Shane Drohan, who is yet another unheralded arm who has found his groove with the Brew Crew, putting up a 3.86 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in 100.1 innings.
Braves vs Brewers Pick, Betting Analysis
I'm taking the Braves to avoid the sweep and beat the Brewers on Sunday Night Baseball.
This is a bet on Mahle, who has a 2.80 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP with a 25.7% strikeout rate and a 5.9% walk rate in 35 1/3 innings in his last six starts.
I'm also fading Drohan here. The Brewers used him out of relief on August 18th, when he went two innings. Prior to that, he gave up three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Dodgers and six earned runs in five innings vs. the Twins.
Not only might we see a disruption in routine after a relief appearance in his last outing, but Drohan also had a tough time in his two previous starts.
The Braves have the edge on the mound, so look for them to avoid the sweep here.
Pick: Braves ML (+120, FanDuel)
