Looking to keep their momentum going as they attempt to catch the last bus for the postseason, the Atlanta Braves will seek a 3-0 sweep of the Minnesota Twins in their series finale on Wednesday at Target Field. The Braves have played in the MLB postseason since 2018, but that impressive streak could come to an end this year if they don’t win enough games towards the homestretch mark of the season. Playing with more urgency, Atlanta has won 8 of their last 10 games to push them within six games of the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies. (78-54). The team averages 9.2 hits and 1.4 home runs, generating 4.9 runs over their last 10 games. The Twins (72-60) have dropped their last three games to fall a step behind the Cleveland Guardians (75-58) and Kansas City Royals (75-58) in a scintillating three-team race for AL Central title. Minnesota’s pitching numbers have gone south over the last 10 games, allowing a 4.43 ERA with a .310 OBP.

Our Minnesota Twins vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

The Braves are sending their most reliable lefty on their pitching staff for Wednesday’s series finale against the Twins. Chris Sale (14-3, 2.62 ERA) have given Atlanta a win in his last three starts and four of his last five. They have covered the spread in the first two games, and I am more confident that they can do it again with Sale pitching from the mound through the first 6 or 7 innings of this match. Our betting prediction for Atlanta Braves vs. Minnesota Twins: Bet the Braves to cover -1.5 runs, +135, at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Braves to cover -1.5 runs
