Braves vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Dbacks are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Braves but both teams are tied 3-3 in their last six meetings in Arizona.

In this Braves vs Diamondbacks Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Dbacks won their first game of the series yesterday but they are putting Brandon Pfaadt on the mound who is coming off a disastrous season and looked terrible in his first start. Perez is coming off a shutout start for the Braves and the Dbacks have been weaker against lefties this season. The Braves have been better against right-handed pitching and have by far the best bullpen in baseball and the 8th-best offense, while the Dbacks are just 26th in runs per game. Take the Braves in a really nice price in this one and a bounce-back spot.
