Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction

I’m on the Braves here. I know Yusei Kikuchi’s done well at home as a member of the Angels but the Braves have been solid against left-handed pitching as a unit and I think the Angels could be in some trouble here. I like Reynaldo Lopez in this Braves rotation, and I think the Braves have the better lineup from top to bottom. I think Atlanta gets some revenge here so give me Atlanta.
