  • Atlanta Braves are averaging a league-leading 5.70 runs per game
  • Detroit Tigers are 5-13 in their 18 road games so far this season
  • Each of Atlanta Braves' last 8 games have produced 8 runs for more

Head To Head

  • Atlanta Braves lead the all-time series 19-15
  • Atlanta Braves won 5-2 when the two teams last met on April 29

Verdict

Detroit have the experience edge at starting pitcher, but JR Ritchie did not look overawed in his MLB debut.

Atlanta are firing offensively and are the team in better form too, so give us the Braves and the plus-money at home.
