The Atlanta Braves (65-58 SU, 54-69 ATS) close out their series against the Los Angeles Angels (53-70 SU, 66-57 ATS) in a precarious position. It’s becoming clear that unless a third team goes on a surge, the final playoff spot is going to come down to the Braves and the Mets, with Atlanta currently holding a one-game lead on New York.
For the Angels, everything comes down to which team is going to show up on a given day. The Angels have shown a strong lack of interest in facing lesser sides, but they do step up their play occasionally when facing playoff teams. The Angels have lost eight consecutive series against non-playoff teams, but they’ve won four consecutive series against teams with a winning record.

Our Los Angeles Angels vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
Charlie Morton has been very inconsistent as of late. In his past five outings, he’s alternated between strong pitching and coming out in the third inning. He’s coming off a very strong showing against San Francisco, which suggests that he might bounce back toward the other extreme.
Jack Kochanowicz is set to make his fourth start, which means there’s very little information about what kind of pitcher he’s going to be. His division rivals figured him out pretty quickly, as he surrendered 11 earned runs in his first two starts. But he looked good against Washington after coming back from Triple-A Salt Lake. With Morton looking likely to go back to his lesser performances, the value lies on the home team here. Our prediction for Atlanta vs. Los Angeles is for the Angels to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
