- Analysis
- The Braves are coming into this game with an 89-64 record this season and they have not been great recently. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and their pitching has not been good in these, but they are going to have better pitching in this game. Their offense has also been much better in their last 6 games and they are going to be hungry to bounce back in this series. They are going up against an Astros team that is 77-76 this season and they have been better recently. They have won 2 of their last 3 games, but they have also lost 4 of their last 6 games and their offense has not been good in these. Tyler Mahle is starting for the Braves in this game and he is 6-10 with a 3.91 ERA this season. He has been lights out in his recent starts since getting traded to the Braves, allowing just 1 earned run or less in 6 of his last 7 starts and allowing 2 earned runs or less in all 7 of those. He has been great on the road recently as well, allowing 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 4 road starts. He has not been bad against the Astros in his career either, going 1-2 with a 3.00 ERA. Peter Lambert is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 8-9 with a 3.71 ERA this season. He has been good this season, but recently he has not been great as he has allowed 3+ runs in each of his last 2 as well as 4 of his last 5 starts. He has not been that great at home recently either, allowing 3+ earned runs in 2 of his last 3 starts there and he has allowed 14 earned runs in a little over 15 innings pitched his last 3 home starts. Lambert has not had a clean start in a long time and he is going to continue to struggle here against this Braves offense that has been hitting better recently. The Braves are also going to get a deep outing from Mahle who has been great as a Brave and that will be the difference here as this Astros offense has not been scoring a lot of runs recently. The Braves will win this game.
