The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Braves have looked great in their games this season with their 45-21 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East. They have been a great road team too with their 23-10 road record this year. Meanwhile, the White Sox have looked good in their games this season with their 34-31 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL Central. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 20-11 home record this season. The White Sox have been really hot lately, going 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have one of the best offenses in MLB too, but they are running into one of the best teams in the league at the moment. The Braves also have one of the best offenses in MLB and lately they have been rolling, going 8-2 in their last 10 games. Holmes is on the mound for the Braves in this one and he hasn't looked great this season, but he hasn't looked bad either. He is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA and he has looked a lot better lately. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start which is starting to become a common theme for him and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting. The White Sox are going with Fedde in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 1-5 with a 4.94 ERA and the team has had a lot of trouble with him this year. They have won 2 games in a row now with him starting and he is coming off a good start in which he gave up no runs, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and he will go right back to his old ways with one of the best offenses coming into town. Look for the Braves to take advantage of this pitching matchup and continue to roll against an inferior team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

“He earned a stripe or two on his shoulder with that experiment. That was a good one.” - Walt Weiss on Didier Fuentes after his team’s win against the Pirates in their game on Sunday. 

“Credit to our offense for continuing to play. You get in a spot like today where you take the lead and you tie the game. You have that kind of push of energy and then don’t get the shutdown inning, it makes it tough. We continued to battle, but we ran out of gas towards the end [on Sunday]. We have to limit the walks and find a way to get some zeros.” - Will Venable after his team’s loss against the Phillies in their game on Sunday.
