The Atlanta Braves host the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday night, in the second game of a blockbuster series between MLB's two 18-win teams. The Braves are widely considered one of the favourites for this season's World Series and eased to a 6-2 victory in the first game of the set. They have now won ten of their previous 11 games and sit clear at the top of the NL East. The Guardians are much less fancied than their rivals, but have made a fantastic start to the campaign. Prior to yesterday's defeat, they had won six of their previous seven games, a run that has put them one game ahead of the Kansas City Royals at the top of the AL Central.

There have only been 31 previous encounters between the two franchises, with the Braves holding a narrow 17-14 head to head lead. That record includes a 2-1 victory for the Braves last season.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

This should be a fantastic ball game. Both teams are in great form and flying high at the top of their respective divisions. However, the fact of the matter is that the Braves are comfortably the better team and it would be a big surprise if they are not strong contenders in the Playoffs. In contrast, the Guardian are overperforming at present and we expect them to be overtaken in the AL Central before too long. Friday's 6-2 win for the Braves is a good indicator of where these teams are at, so our prediction for Braves vs Guardians is: Braves (-1.5) to win, 2.12 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Braves (-1.5) to win
