Braves vs Tigers Prediction 

Atlanta rolls into this matchup on a six game winning streak and they have scored 41 runs in their last five. The Braves are 35-44 on the road this year, while the Tigers are 46-33 at home. Detroit is searching for answers, but they have scored just two total runs in their last three games. The Tigers are starting Montero, who has allowed two earned runs in his last 10.0 innings of work. The Braves are going with Wentz, who has allowed 2, 6, 4, 1, and 6 earned runs in his last five starts. I don’t like either starting pitcher in this matchup, but we are going to continue fading the Tigers. Take the Braves to win again.
