Braves vs Rangers Prediction

The Rangers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last three. I am not going to bet on the winner, although I am leaning towards the in-form Rangers. I am going with Over instead, because eight of the last ten H2Hs went Over, while that was the case in eight of Atlanta’s previous ten games. Bryce Elder allowed multiple runs in each of his last six starts, so Texas will have a chance to do damage early on. Jack Leiter, on the other hand, surrendered multiple runs in six of his previous seven starts. Atlanta will be looking to avoid a sweep here, so I expect the visitors to be aggressive on the plate. Go with Over.
