In this Guardians vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -115 home favorites. The Braves have three straight wins where they have scored 26 total runs and they have both a better offense and the best bullpen in baseball, put I don’t trust Perez on the mound, as he did not look good in his first start. Messick has only one earned run in his two starts and the Guardians are far better against lefties, with a .254 batting average and 4.7 runs/9, so I like them as road dogs in this spot. Take the Guardians on the moneyline for plus money.
