Rangers vs Braves Pick, Betting Analysis
BARTOLO projects the Rangers for 4.63 runs and the Braves for 3.51, that combined total of 8.14 gives us a very comfortable cushion against the current line of 8.5.
Atlanta’s offense continues to be a Jekyll-and-Hyde story. While they are a league-average unit overall, they completely crater against left-handed pitching, ranking 23rd in the majors with a meager 92 wRC+. Coming off a grueling series opener against southpaw MacKenzie Gore, the Braves' bats are pressing hard to find any rhythm.
On the other side, Texas is bringing a heavily compromised lineup to Atlanta. The Rangers have scored just nine runs combined over their last three road games, and things won't get any easier without Corey Seager. The superstar shortstop remains sidelined on the IL with lower-back inflammation, removing the teeth from the middle of the Texas order.
To make matters worse for both offenses, late-inning runs will be at a premium. The Braves bullpen is arguably the most lethal unit in baseball right now, holding down a stellar 3.34 ERA.
Trust the projections and the lack of offensive firepower here.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-102, DraftKings)
