Atlanta Braves vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
We’re getting a cheap price with the Braves, who are playing better baseball and that’s the direction I’m going to lean. Elder hasn’t been great over the last two seasons, but he looked sharp in his season debut. Either way, the Braves have caught fire over the last week, while the Diamondbacks have been badly outplayed in this series and have scored a combined 3 runs in their last 3 games. I’ll gladly take the Braves and this soft price on Saturday night.
