Giants vs Braves MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
This is the top run-scoring environment in my data. My sim model puts this game at an 11-run average total. That's mostly on the Braves side as they project very well against Anthony Molina and the Giants bullpen in Atlanta.
Bryce Elder has had a fine season for the Braves, and it's still a soft matchup against the Giants. But the Giants do a lot more run-scoring on the road, which makes sense given that brutal home ballpark.
They've hit 81 homers on the road and just 68 at home. That's a huge difference. So I think they can sneak a few balls out of the yard here against Elder and his pitch-to-contact ways.
This is the most mispriced O/U of the day, and I'm jumping at the opportunity.
Pick: Over 9 (-105)
