Our Los Angeles Angels vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
The Braves and Angels have been wildly inconsistent this season, so instead of backing a winner, we will be looking at the total. Elder has been poor at home, posting a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 6.61 in seven starts.
As for Soriano, he has been solid on the road, posting a record of 4-2 and an ERA of 2.78 in nine starts. Despite his success, Soriano still has had a few poor road starts, one as recently as the beginning of June.
The Braves’ offense can seemingly get hot on any given day; therefore, because this looks to be a favorable pitching matchup for both teams, our Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Angels prediction is: Over 9 Total Runs.Jackpot Pools
