Atlanta Braves at Baltimore Orioles MLB Predictions 23/08

Details:

It is amazing the way that the Braves have began this month. Atlanta has got to be kicking itself on what its chances would be if that they had Ronald Acuna Jr. healthy for the remainder of the season and therefore the playoffs. The Braves were 14-3 in August heading into Saturday’s action. Thais stretch has built them a 4-game lead over Philadelphia within the NL East, and with the way they hit it's sustainable. Also, the Braves are 7th within the majors in quality starts. The pitching has improved because the season has progressed. Playing Baltimore is great for adding to anyone’s streak immediately . Heading into Saturday the Orioles had won just one game in August and were exclude within the series opener on Friday night. As an indicator of how things have gotten, they need been a minimum of +225 in their last 8 games. The last time they were favored was back on August 12, with lefty John Means on the mound. They lost that one at Detroit.

Touki Toussaint has given up just 2 ER in 3 straight starts. The Braves have won all 3, too, as he has become a crucial a part of their push to a different NL East Division title. He doesn't dominate–but probably doesn’t need to against Baltimore. While being the simplest starter for the Orioles is extremely relative praise, there's little question that lefty Means is that the best that Baltimore has got to offer. Baltimore won his first few starts after a stint on the injured list, but he has been hit hard lately. He has given up 10 ER in his last 2 starts, totaling just 8.1 innings. The Braves are solid favorites, but this is often quite sort of a buy opportunity because fading the Orioles has not been this cheap during a while. i prefer Means tons generally , but backing him would be like posing for a complete-game shutout the way the Orioles are playing immediately . that's definitely not a bet worth taking. Keep it simple and keep fading the O’s.

My Main Tip is Atlanta to win

Only a few of teams have hit more homers than the Braves. With the sluggers they need , it's easy to think the over in most Braves games. Means may be a quality starter, but I still just like the over during this spot. In half their last 6 games, they need covered the entire on their own scoring 11+ runs 3 times. Some NL teams can’t really cash in of the DH once they catch on , but Atlanta has many great options to load their lineup. Toussaint and therefore the remainder of the Braves arms are going to be effective but probably not dominant.
