Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Braves continue to rack up the losses, and they’ve lost four of Holmes’ last five starts due to a lack of run support. The Braves have underachieved for much of the season, and they’re back on the struggle bus where they’re hard to trust. The Rangers have caught fire in the second half and while Rocker has been shaky this season overall, he’s allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts. In 29.1 home innings, Rocker has a 1.84 ERA and .187 allowed batting average. Give me the Rangers.
