The Braves are entering this series off a loss and won their 3-game series against the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 41-20 record overall and have a home record of 18-10. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Thursday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Wednesday. The Braves won the 1st game of this series on Tuesday.

In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 3 walks with 8 strikeouts on 6 hits through 5 innings pitched against the Boston Red Sox.

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 41-20 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 18-10 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays haven't looked good in their games this season with their 29-32 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL East. They have been a bad road team too with their 12-19 road record this year. The Blue Jays are 5-5 in their last 10 games and they have been a terrible road team this year while the Braves are 6-4 in their last 10 games and have looked great at home as one of the best teams in baseball at the moment. They have one of the best offenses in MLB which has been a big issue for the Blue Jays this season and the Braves also have the better pitching matchup here. The Braves are going with Sale in this one and he has been their ace this season. He is 8-3 with a 2.01 ERA and the team has been having a ton of success with him. He is off another great start in which he gave up 2 earned runs, something that has been a common theme for him, and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting. Last season, the offense carried the Blue Jays for a lot of the year since they didn't have a great pitching staff, but this season nothing has really improved much with their pitching and their offense has been a big negative. Look for the Braves to take advantage of this pitching matchup and continue to roll at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

“He still managed to get his swing and miss with both fastball and split. They’re also very aware of the split, so I thought he did a very good job of pivoting to the heater and the split was better as the game went on.” - John Schneider after his team’s loss against the Braves in their game on Tuesday.

“Lou Gehrig was one of my all-time heroes. I made all four of my sons do their fifth-grade book report on Lou Gehrig. That was mandatory in our house. What a legacy he left behind. And you've got our iron man hitting the game-winning homer on Lou Gehrig Day, so very appropriate." - Walt Weiss after his team’s win against the Blue Jays in their game on Tuesday.
