Braves vs Angels Prediction

The Braves have scored one or fewer runs in four of their last five games, and now they’re throwing out rookie Fuentes, who has been blasted in 8.1 innings. In those frames, Fuentes has allowed 14 hits and 10 runs while walking four. No, thanks. Kikuchi is getting sharper as the season plays out, and he’s allowed 25 hits and eight earned runs in his last 32 innings. Kikuchi has allowed nine earned runs in his last 42.2 innings. The Angels have a massive edge on the mound, and the Braves’ bats are ice-cold. Give me the Angels.
