Rangers vs Braves Prediction

The Rangers are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Braves, having won two of their last three visits in Atlanta.

In this Rangers vs Braves Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -120 road favorites. I love the Braves as home dogs in this spot, as Grant Holmes has been in far better form than Nathan Eovaldi. Holmes has been unhittable lately, with just two earned runs across his last four starts, while Eovaldi has given up at least three runs in 8 of his last 9 starts. The Braves have a superior offense (6^th against the Rangers’ 24^th) and the third-best bullpen in baseball. Take the Braves in this one.
