Another Loss for the Braves

It was another loss for the Braves on Tuesday, and most of this season has been a major issue. The Braves scored only three runs, and the five runs given up in the 5th inning were the difference in the defeat. Austin Riley, Matt Olson, and Ozzie Albies all hit a home run. It was good that they hit home runs, but overall, they need to do a better job of hitting with runners in scoring position. Spencer Schwellenbach went 4.2 innings, giving up six hits and six earned runs. 

The Braves are averaging 3.56 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.31 runs per game. The offense is ranked 24th while the defense is ranked 16th. Sean Murphy has hit four home runs and driven in 11 RBIs. Getting the start for the Braves in this game will be Spencer Strider, who will make his first start of the season. Last year, he made two appearances and gave up seven runs while recording zero wins. 

Breakout Inning for the Blue Jays

It was a breakout inning for the Blue Jays on Tuesday, putting up five runs in the 5th inning on the way to the win. Anthony Santander and Alan Rodan both hit a home run. Santander finished with three RBIs, and Roden finished with two RBIs. 

The Blue Jays are averaging 3.94 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.0 runs per game. The offense is ranked 19th, while the pitching is ranked 10th. This is a solid pitching staff, and they need the pitching to be good again here. Getting the start for the Blue Jays will be Chris Bassitt, who sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 0.98. Against the Boston Red Sox, he went 5.2 innings, giving up five hits and one run. 

Why the Blue Jays Will Beat the Braves

• The Braves have lost 11 of their last 12 road games against teams that held a winning record.
• The Blue Jays have won seven of their last eight home games against the Braves.
• The Blue Jays have covered the run line in 11 of their last 12 games as underdogs after playing the previous day.
• The Braves have failed to cover the run line in five of their last six games as road favorites.
• The Braves have trailed after 5 innings in four of their last five games.

Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I believe Strider is going to be fine this season for the Braves, but he’s not the best pitcher in this game. Bassitt has been lights out all season, and in his last start against the Red Sox, he looked really good. The Braves' offense is going to have some major issues getting their offense going, something that has seemed to be the case most of the season. They are averaging only 3.56 runs per game, and they won’t even get to that number here. Back the Blue Jays on the money line.
