They enter this game with a 40-20 record overall and have a home record of 17-10. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Wednesday with the 1st game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .761 OPS.

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 40-20 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East with the best record in MLB. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 17-10 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays haven't looked good in their games this season with their 29-31 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL East. They have been a bad road team too with their 12-18 road record this year. The Blue Jays are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have looked a lot better lately after a bad start to the season, but the Braves are also 6-4 in their last 10 games and have been one of the best in the league all year. The Blue Jays had one of the best offenses in MLB last season and that carried their team in a lot of games, but their offense hasn't been nearly as good as last season while the Braves have one of the best offenses in the league now. The Blue Jays are going with Corbin in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season. He is 2-1 with a 3.65 ERA and the team has been having success with him. They have won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and he is coming off a good start in which he only gave up 1 earned run, but that hasn't been a common theme for him a lot of the season and he will have some trouble against this Braves lineup, along with the Blue Jays bullpen which hasn't been great. The Braves are going with Holmes in this one and he has been a solid starter for them. He is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA and the team has been having a ton of success with him lately. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start, but he will be looking to bounce back with a better performance and the Braves have still won 6 of their last 7 games with him starting. The Braves have the much better offense which should be enough to edge out the Blue Jays in this one, especially since the Blue Jays have looked a lot worse in road games this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

“We're looking forward to the off day. Overall, I thought we played kind of a mixed bag these last four games here in Baltimore, in all areas. But I think 10-7 — we took a step forward, collectively, over that period of time. Guys are feeling it. The bullpen's feeling it when you're running some bullpen games, too. So, looking forward to tomorrow and regroup on Tuesday.” - John Schneider after his team’s loss against the Orioles in their game on Sunday. 

"I hit for Mateo, who's been one of the hottest hitters on our team. I think the lefties are a much better option against Santillan right there, he's really tough on righties." - Walt Weiss on pinch hitting for Jorge Mateo in their loss against the Reds on Sunday.
