We head to Truist Park in Atlanta for the rubber match between the Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves. Baltimore grabbed game one in this three game series, while the Braves railed back late in last nights matchup to grab game two.

The Braves hand the ball to their 23 year old stud Bryce Elder. Elder is has having a remarkable campaign so far going 3-0 with a 1.75 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 36 innings. For Baltimore Tyler Wells, gets the nod who comes in off his second straight win of the season. Wells is 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA.

In six starts, Wells has given up two or more runs in four of them. The Orioles may come in a little deflated in this matchup, especially after blowing last nights game, giving up a pinch hit home run in the 8th inning. This game also has a weird start time of 11:35 am which could also favor the home team.

Both the Braves and O’s offenses are solid each ranking top ten in batting average. Atlanta should have the edge with Baltimore never facing Elder before. We’ll need him to keep putting up K’s to get us the win.

Official Pick: Braves F5 -.5 -115 per BetMGM
