Diamondbacks vs Braves Prediction
The Diamondbacks are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings against the Braves and have won their last four visits in Atlanta.
In this Diamondbacks vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -135 home favorites. I like the Dbacks are road dogs once again today with Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound with his 2.70 ERA, and a 1.23 WHIP. He has been better on the road with a 5-1 record and 2.49 ERA and their bullpen has a 0.57 ERA in their last 5 games. The Braves’ offense has also been struggling in the same span with just 3.5 runs per game, so take the Dbacks on the moneyline for plus money in this one.
