Atlanta Braves vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’ll stick with the Braves. Lopez pitching well lately. In his last three starts he’s got three earned runs total in 18.0 innings on 12 hits and four walks. Lopez is 2-0 in that trio. As for Skubal, he’s coming off a loss with four earned in 6.1 innings versus Houston but had just two earned in 12.2 innings prior to that.

On Tuesday the Braves didn’t have that great of an offensive evening with just five team hits. The good news is that the pitching staff (Schwellenbach and three relievers) had a stellar group outing. I like Atlanta to keep it rolling in the finale.
