Our Atlanta Braves vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Difference Maker: D-Backs starter Brandon Pfaadt is smoking hot right now, having shut down the last three teams he faced from the mound.
Pfaadt has also posted an impressive 1.12 ERA over his last five starts.
Meanwhile, Chris Sale surrendered 3 earned runs in a 4-5 loss to the Mets on August 8. Sale will need to be at his sharpest because the D-Backs are batting .306 while averaging 5.4 runs per game against left-handed pitchers over the last five games.
What to Expect: the D-Backs continue their winning ways against the Braves. Brandon Pfaadt dazzles anew with another start, while Arizona’s offense pounces on a subpar Chris Sale and the Braves bullpen (3.38 ERA over the last 5 games).
Fearless Forecast: Arizona 6, Atlanta 3
