They enter this game with a 46-25 record overall and have a home record of 22-11. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Giants on Tuesday and they have Monday off as a day of rest.

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 46-25 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East with one of the best records in MLB. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 22-12 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 29-43 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NL West. They have been a terrible road team too with their 15-23 road record this year. The Braves are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and haven't looked great lately, but the Giants have been one of the worst teams in the league and this is a good series for the Braves to get a much needed bounce back at home. They have looked great at home all season and they are going to have a solid starter on the mound too with Grant Holmes. He is 4-2 with a 4.05 ERA and the team has been having success with him all year. He gave up 3 earned runs in his last start which has been a bit of a common theme for him, but the team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and they also have one of the best offenses in MLB to help out. The Giants are going with Houser in this one and he hasn't looked good this season. He is 2-6 with a 5.54 ERA and his team hasn't been having much success with him. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and he only gave up 3 earned runs in his last start, but he has been giving up a ton of runs all season and won't keep this Braves lineup from scoring. The Braves can take advantage of this pitching matchup at home with the better offense and they should bounce back in this series by beating up on one of the worst teams in baseball. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

“I could kind of see in his face that he was going to ask me. I pretty much said, ‘(Heck) yeah, I’m good, let’s go.’ And all the infielders were like, ‘Let’s go.’ It was almost a terrible decision, but thankfully (Lee) caught that ball. I always want to stay out there, and I was happy I was able to get out of there.” - Logan Webb after their win against the Cubs in their game on Sunday. 

"Look, he’s coming, turning around and throwing the ball as quick as he can. One-in-a-million shot that it hits that pole. You get tucked in that corner there and it’s a tough angle coming out of there. You throw it straight, yeah, that pole is in the way. Just a tough angle for Yaz right there." - Walt Weiss after his team’s loss against the Mets in their game on Sunday.
