Braves vs Giants Prediction

It will be interesting to see what happens in this spot since both teams have to finish yesterday’s game before taking the field. That can throw a monkey wrench into things. Regardless, I’m siding with the Braves, the better team at home. The Giants remain a disappointment, and Ray is far more hittable than he’s been in past years. Ritchie has flashed moments in his young career, and through 9.2 innings, he has a 2.79 ERA and a .194 batting average allowed. Give me the Braves on Wednesday night.
