Get ready, baseball fans, Tuesday night’s showdown features two teams limping into July like they forgot the season started in April. The Atlanta Braves, losers of four straight, head west to clash with the Oakland A’s, who’ve been doing their best impression of a tumbleweed in the AL West. Buckle up. This could be chaos or comedy.
Atlanta Braves: Hit-and-Miss (Mostly Miss)
Atlanta enters with a sparkling 15-28 road record, which screams “Please don’t make us travel.” They’re riding a four-game skid and have been outscored by 21 runs over their last 10. That’s not a cold streak, that’s a cry for help.
Didier Fuentes gets the ball with his 9.00 ERA and WHIP flirting with 2.00. He’s allowed more runners than a charity 5K and is still looking for that elusive first win. If you’re a Braves fan, watching this might require whiskey.
But hey, at least Sean Murphy is hitting bombs. He’s got 4 homers and 10 RBIs in the last 10 games. Meanwhile, Matt Olson has quietly cracked 17 dingers and will be key if Atlanta plans on not embarrassing themselves.
Oakland Athletics: Somehow Worse Than You Remember
The A’s have 37 wins, and that somehow doesn’t feel terrible… until you realize 32 of them came when they outhit opponents. Meaning if their bats go cold, you can start the “L” column early.
Jeffrey Springs takes the mound with a decent 4.25 ERA and a record as inconsistent as your buddy’s fantasy picks. He’ll need to keep Braves hitters guessing, because Oakland’s bats have been stuck in molasses lately, hitting just .215 in their last 10 games.
Still, Jacob Wilson has been a spark with 17 doubles and 9 home runs, while Max Muncy has contributed just enough lately to keep his name in the lineup.
Final Prediction:
This one has all the makings of a 10-8 beer-league softball score. Expect defense to be optional and pitching to be… optimistic.
Because someone’s got to win, and it might as well be the team with slightly more chaos control.
Final Score Prediction: Braves 10, Athletics 8
Bets Bet: Atlanta -1.5 (+130)
Total: Over 10.5 (-110)
