Braves vs Brewers Prediction & Pick
The pressure is on today as Braves starting pitcher Allan Winans makes his MLB debut. The former Campbell University product has thrived with Triple-A Gwinnett, going 7-3 with a 2.81 ERA and 1.003 WHIP in 18 minor-league games (13 starts).
Meanwhile, the Brewers hope that SP Adrian Houser continues his latest trend. After tallying a 2-2 record with a 4.33 ERA in his first seven starts of the season, Houser is 1-0 while playing to a 2.91 ERA in his five most recent games (three starts). He's also pitched for just 10 2/3 innings over the last 23 days, meaning he's likely feeling quite rested.
Even if Winans is shaky in his debut, the Braves have the bats to back him up. They're arguably the best hitting team in the NL and could potentially do some damage against Houser, 0-3 in four previous games (three starts) against Atlanta.
The Brewers are talented enough to keep things close, but the Braves are the better team and will extend their streak tonight.
Final Score Prediction:'Braves: 5 | Brewers: 4
Braves vs Brewers Best Bet
Austin Riley has put on a show for Braves fans over the last few weeks. On top of homering in four consecutive games, the talented infielder is batting .375 with 12 hits in his last 32 at-bats. His offensive surge played a big role in his racking up 3.8 total bases per game over that stretch.
Having also finished with four-plus bases in each of his last four games, I don't see a world where Riley doesn't record at least two TBs tonight.
