The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks meet Sunday in MLB action at Truist Park. Here’s a Braves vs Diamondbacks Prediction. This article will include a Braves vs Diamondbacks Pick.
The Atlanta Braves are 73-50 on the year and play the Twins and White Sox next. The Atlanta Braves are batting .247 on the season and have a .312 OBP and a .418 slugging percentage. The Atlanta Braves’ pitching staff has a 3.64 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Michael Harris II leads the Atlanta Braves with 128 hits and 68 RBI, while Matt Olson and Ozzie Albies have combined for 245 hits and 138 RBI.
Bryce Elder gets the ball for the Atlanta Braves, and he is 8-7 with a 4.03 ERA and 108 strikeouts this season. Elder is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA and 13 strikeouts in his career against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are 66-58 on the year and play the Red Sox and Reds next. The Arizona Diamondbacks are batting .244 on the season and have a .317 OBP and a .399 slugging percentage. The Arizona Diamondbacks’ pitching staff has a 4.08 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Ketel Marte leads the Arizona Diamondbacks with 117 hits and 67 RBI, while Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo have combined for 219 hits and 99 RBI.
Michael Soroka gets the ball for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he is 8-3 with a 2.92 ERA and 83 strikeouts this season. Soroka is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 7 strikeouts in his career against the Atlanta Braves.
I considered the Diamondbacks and the plus money, as Soroka has been strong with a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 86.1 innings. However, we’re not getting enough bang for our buck to fade the better team in the Braves at home. The Braves have done a better job of finding ways to win, and Elder has been solid at home with a 3.56 ERA and a .234 allowed batting average. The price is low. I’ll roll with the Braves at home.
