Giants vs Braves Prediction

The Giants are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings against the Braves and have won their last two visits in Atlanta.

In this Giants vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -155 home favorites. The Braves have the pitching edge with Grant Holmes on the bump, who has been better at home, while Houser has been shaky for the Giants lately, having given up 3+ runs in three of his last four starts. The Braves have the best bullpen in baseball and the 5^th-best offense, so I expect them to take care of business at home in this one.
