Braves vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a slight favorite in this game. They have been on a roll in their games lately as they keep piling up the wins and they have been playing so well lately that they cut down on the Mets division lead over them and now sit in 1st place in the NL East themselves. The Mariners have been playing well recently but they have been slipping up in their last few games as they start to lose more games and their pitching has not been as good as they fall into this slump. The Braves are hitting the ball very well right now and they are scoring a lot of runs in their games while also pitching very well as they do not give up a ton of runs. They have the motivation to keep winning as the playoffs near and now that they have a division lead again, they will not slow down now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.
 
Braves Mariners Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Sunday, September 11, 2022 (4:10 pm ET start time) is Braves 6 Mariners 2.
