The Houston Astros host the in-form Atlanta Braves in the final instalment of their three game set. The Braves cruised to victories in the first two games, and are flying high with a table topping 11-5 record in the NL East. They have won four of their last five and boast an excellent 7-3 record on the road. The Astros are enduring a tough start to the campaign and currently occupy the bottom spot in the AL West with just two wins from their previous 8 games. Unsurprisingly, the Braves are short priced favourites to sweep the set and can be backed at just 1.60 for the win, with the Astros available at 2.18.

The Braves and Astros have met 739 times previously, with the Braves holding a 400-339 overall advantage. The last eight encounters between the two franchises have resulted in four wins each.

Our Houston Astros vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

It's hard to make a case for anything other than a comfortable road win here. The Braves are playing at a far higher level than the Astros and we expect them to complete a 3-0 sweep of the set. There's not a huge amount of value in a moneyline bet on Houston, but the spread offers a decent price on the Astros winning by at least two runs. As such, our prediction for Astros vs Braves is: Braves (-1) to win, 1.78 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Braves (-1) to win
