It was a tough loss for the Atlanta Braves yesterday, blowing a lead to the San Francisco Giants in the bottom of the ninth, but I expect them to bounce back tonight when the two teams resume their 4-game set at Oracle Park. Jeff Samardzija will take tap the rubber for the Giants and he has been steady, with a record of 2-2, a 3.69 ERA, and a 1.19 WHIP, but against the National League East, the Giants are just 1-8 in their last 9 when he takes the hill. The Braves will counter with Max Fried and he has been on his mark. Fried is 6-2, with a 2.86 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and despite last night’s loss, the Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 at Oracle Park.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ATLANTA BRAVES
