Braves vs Giants Prediction

The Giants won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last six, while this season, San Francisco leads 4-1. However, I am going with the Braves in this one because of the pitching matchup. With all due respect to the future Hall of Famer, Justin Verlander, he is not at the same level he was years ago. He allowed 14 runs in his last three starts, and considering that Atlanta failed to score last night, I am sure the hosts will bounce back in this one. Spencer Strider, on the other hand, registered four consecutive quality starts, while he shut the Yankees out in 6.0 innings in his most recent start. Back the Braves.
