Diamondbacks vs Braves prediction

The Diamondbacks and the big plus money is worth a look because they are an above average team in terms of talent. However, Ryne Nelson was awful in his season opener, and now he’s on the road against possibly the best lineup in baseball. Chris Sale showed flashes in his opener and struck out 7 batters on 83 pitches. Current Arizona hitters are batting .211 with 16 strikeouts in 57 at bats. I have to side with the Braves in this spot, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
