In this Brewers vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -140 home favorites. This is the very definition of a pitchers’ duel with Sale and Harrisson facing each other. They both have a combined 4.77 ERA and both squads have been weaker against southpaws. The opening game of the series had just 5 total runs and I expect more of the same today. Take the under 7 in this one.
