Cardinals vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
There is no doubt 42-year-old Adam Wainwright has had his struggles this year in his final MLB season. Over 18 starts this season he holds a record of 3-10 with an 8.10 ERA. Granted Wainwright is coming off one his best starts of the season last time out against San Diego despite taking the loss, Wainwright gave the Cardinals a great chance to win allowing only one earned run over six innings. While Wainwright is coming off a solid outing against the Padres, containing this explosive Braves offensive is much tougher task.
The Braves turn to Max Fried to quiet this recently surging Cardinals’ offense, Fried is the perfect guy to do so after tossing seven scoreless innings and recording ten strikeouts in last week’s start against the Dodgers. Atlanta should jump all over Wainwright in this one and we’ll back them on the run line here to avoid the sweep.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: BRAVES -1.5 (-150)
