Braves vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Braves won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, and already beat the Diamondbacks in a series this season, when it was 2-1 in Phoenix. I am backing the Braves to get a W in this one because of Chris Sale, who had a fantastic May and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his last eight starts. Sale allowed a .222 BA in 108 at-bats against Arizona. Merrill Kelly, on the other hand, had a solid May, but did surrender four runs in each of his previous two starts. Atlanta should be good enough to score 3+ runs off him early on. Go with the Braves.
