Seattle Mariners vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

The Atlanta Braves are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re a super talented team and are expected to win a lot. It also doesn’t hurt to have Chris Sale on the mound. However, the Braves aren’t hitting how we’re used to seeing over the last week or so, and Sale has had issues on the road so far. Also, the Mariners are playing some of their best ball right now and have to view this series as a chance to prove they’re legit contenders. Emerson Hancock also has the swing and miss stuff to improve his numbers. Give me the Mariners in the sweet underdog role.
