San Francisco Giants vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Massive series for both the Giants and Braves, who are both in the thick of the NL wild card race. Blake Snell has been incredible over his last handful of starts and is hard to bet against at home in this form. The Braves have also been a mess over the last couple of weeks. However, we’re getting a pick em price with Chris Sale on the mound, the current betting favorite to win the NL CY Young. We don’t have many more chances to get Sale at this price point. Give me the Braves.
