With Chris Sale set for his second start this season, the Atlanta Braves find themselves in a terrific situation to win and cover -1.5 runs in Wednesday’s series finale against the Athletics.
Momentum: The Athletics finally get on the board, capturing their first win of the season after topping the Atlanta Braves in Game 2. The Braves, meanwhile, suffered their second loss in the last three games to drop to 3-2 in the season.
The Matchup: The Athletics and the Braves will enter Wednesday’s finale with the series tied at 1-1. Luis Severino is scheduled to start for the second time this season. He allowed two runs over five innings in a 2-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on March 27. The Braves will counter with lefty Chris Sale, who threw six scoreless innings in Atlanta’s 6-0 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Hot on the Board: The Athletics offer a +169 price in the moneyline market and -118 on the +1.5 run line. The Braves are the clear-cut favorites at -207 moneyline and -102 if they can cover a -1.5-run handicap. DraftKings has posted the total at over/under 8 runs.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Athletics Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Braves destroy the Athletics at home, 5-0
Best Bet: Pick the Braves to cover -1.5 runs. Atlanta has dominated the Athletics in their recent head-to-head series, winning 9 of their last 11 meetings at Truist Park. Chris Sale looks primed for another dazzling performance on the mound after blanking the Royals in his season debut. Meanwhile, A’s starter Luis Severino must tighten up his pitching because Atlanta’s offense can deal enough damage if left unchecked.
Our betting prediction for the Athletics vs. the Atlanta Braves: The Braves -1.5 runs
