Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers Prediction
Wentz has been solid lately, allowing four hits and one run in his last eight innings. However, the Braves have been a mess in the second half of the season, and they can’t score runs, so it doesn’t matter what Wentz looks like. Eovaldi has above-average stuff, and he has a 1.58 ERA and 0.85 WHIP on the season. In his last 18.2 innings, he’s allowed 12 hits and one earned run. The Rangers have won six of Eovaldi’s last nine starts. Give me the Rangers.
