Braves at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Braves 7, Diamondbacks 5
Money line
The BRAVES (-165) are a little on the costly side, although the Diamondbacks (+133) haven’t won consecutive home games against a National League opponent since May 9-10.
Atlanta has posted a 40-15 record in the past 55 games following a loss, and it is 6-2 in the previous 8 as a favorite.

Run line/Against the spread
The BRAVES -1.5 (+100) are a decent play on the run line at even-money. In each of Atlanta’s last 3 victories it has won by 2 or more runs and 5 of their last 7 wins have also been by at least 2 runs.
Over/Under
The OVER 9.5 (+105) is the lean Tuesday. The Over has cashed in 5 straight games for the Braves following a loss, while going 11-3-1 in the past 15 games as a favorite.
On the flip side, the Diamondbacks have cashed the Over in 5 straight after a victory, while going 17-6-1 in the last 24 meetings against the Braves in Arizona, although the Under did just come in by a half-run in Monday’s opener.
