MLB Odds: Braves vs. Diamondbacks prediction, odds, pick

Charlie Morton goes to the hill for the Braves, while Humberto Castellanos gets the call for Arizona. Morton has a 5.28 ERA, but he has allowed fewer than two runs in just two of his nine starts this season. Castelanos has 5 ERA and has had a poor run of form recently. Arizona is in the National League wild card hunt. The team has overachieved this year.

The Braves got thumped on Monday in the first game of this series. They have a rookie making his MLB debut against Zach Gallen, one of Arizona's better starting pitchers. Charlie Morton hasn't been good this season, but Humberto Castellanos is serving up hittable pitches.

After beating the Braves on Monday, the Diamondbacks have achieved a reset after getting swept in four straight games by the Dodgers. Manager Torey Lovullo got ejected from that game for standing up for his starting pitcher (Gallen). Charlie Morton has had a disappointing season so far. Arizona can slug its way past Morton and overcome Castellanos’s limitations.

The total is the best bet on Braves-Diamondbacks. Two pitchers with ERAs over five runs should expect a game with 10 or more runs scored.
