Wednesday's Top MLB Picks & Bets: Braves vs. Brewers
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Atlanta Braves (-142) at Milwaukee Brewers (+120) | O/U 8 (-114/-106) MLB Picks
The Atlanta Braves have endured a topsy-turvy start to their season, but I am banking on them being amid one of their positive stretches of play.
The Braves started the season with seven straight losses, and then won 24 of their next 40 from April 4 to May 18 (their 24-16 record over that span was tied for the fifth-best record in the majors). After Atlanta recently lost 14 of 17 following that positive streak, it won the series opener against Milwaukee in convincing fashion with Chris Sale on the mound, and I expect that to keep propelling it to new heights.
The Braves were extremely unlucky in their recent 3-14 stretch, going 0-8 in one-run games in that span. They entered this current series ranked 12th in starting pitching ERA, 15th in bullpen ERA, 18th in wRC+, 17th in BSR, tied for 21st in runs per game, and first in defensive runs saved.
I expect Atlanta’s Spencer Schwellenbach to improve his rotation-best 1.05 WHIP and to turn in his sixth quality start in his last seven outings. The Brewers are just 5-7 SU as home underdogs this season, and I look for their struggles in that split to continue in this afternoon affair.
Pick: Braves Moneyline (-142)
