Braves vs Giants Prediction
The Giants are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Braves and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in San Francisco.
In this Braves vs Giants Prediction, the Braves are coming as -150 road favorites. I like the pitching in this matchup with Robbie Ray going up against Chris Sale, as they both have a combined 5.84 ERA and both have been in excellent form lately. The Braves have the best bullpen in baseball, both teams are far weaker against lefties and both games in this series have been low-scoring ones with 5 and 4 total runs. Take the under 7.5 in this one.
