Two  MLB divisional leaders go head to head on Friday night, as the Texas Rangers take on the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park.

The Braves are currently sitting pretty at the top of the NL East, but a series loss to the Cardinals earlier this week has allowed the Phillies and Marlins to significantly close the gap at the top of the table. Getting back to winning ways is essential if Atlanta want to remain in control of their postseason destiny. 

Texas are also locked in a three way battle for divisional supremacy, and are just one game clear of the Mariners and two clear of the Astros at the top of the AL West standings. Like the Braves, the Rangers have had a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, but they come into Friday's game off the back of a vital 6-5 victory over the Astros.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers Prediction

This is one of the most hotly anticipated MLB matchups of the week, but we are not expecting a run fest at Truist Park.

Starting pitchers Cal Quantrill and Chris Sale are both in superb form and have been making life extremely difficult for opposition batters in recent weeks. 

Whilst we would probably favor the Braves for the win, we think the smart bet is to take the generous odds of 2.20 on the game featuring fewer than eight runs. 

Our prediction for Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers is: Under 7.5 runs. 

Prediction:
