Atlanta Braves Form

Atlanta head into this series having made a solid start to the season, but their form has cooled off over the past week.

The Braves kicked off the season on the road and won the series in Philadelphia, 2-1, before splitting a two-game meeting with the Chicago White Sox.

They then swept Arizona in their opening home series of the season, winning all three games, but their form has dipped since then.

Atlanta sandwiched a 6-5 win over the New York Mets with 8-7 and 16-4 defeats to the team from the ‘Big Apple’.

The Braves fared a little better when they went back out on the road, beating Miami 8-1 and 9-7 either side of a 5-1 defeat.

Houston Astros Form

Houston have made a rough start to the season, but they do come into this series on the back of a couple of weekend wins.

The Astros opened up at home with a four-game series against the New York Yankees, and they lost all four of those games.

They fare better against Toronto, sandwiching a 2-1 defeat with 10-0 and 8-0 wins, and then split a road series with Texas, responding from 10-2 and 7-2 defeats with 3-1 and 10-5 victories.

Houston failed to build on that in Kansas City though, as they suffered three consecutive defeats to the Royals, 11-2, 13-3 and 12-8.

The Astros’ skid reached four games with a 12-8 home defeat to Texas, but they were able to snap that skid over the weekend, beating the Rangers 9-2 and 8-5.

Verdict

Atlanta have made the better start to the season and can take advantage of a struggling pitcher in Arrighetti.
