Before Betting on Braves vs Giants Sept 13
Atlanta didn’t do their division title hopes any favors on Monday, losing 3-2 to the Giants in the season opener. This was happening as the Mets were getting beat 5-2 by the Cubs by as nearly -300 favorites in the offshore odds. New York is seemingly a lock to win on Tuesday vs. Chicago with Jacob deGrom on the hill as a -450 favorite, meaning the Braves are in a must-win spot here.
The Braves do have a 10 game lead in the wild card race so they’re going to the playoffs, but they are 1.5 GB from the Mets in the NL East in a race that decides not only the division, but also likely who gets the coveted second bye in the playoffs.
San Francisco is happy to continue to play spoiler after they are 68-73 this season after having the best record in baseball in 2021. Jakob Junis (4-5, 3.98 ERA) goes for the home team in the Braves vs Giants matchup, still looking for his first win since June 10th.
Atlanta will send Kyle Wright (17-5, 3.23 ERA) to the mound on extra rest after he was rocked for 8 ER over just 4.0 IP last Tuesday, getting saved by his offense in a 10-9 Braves victory. The Braves have won five straight Wright starts and held opponents scoreless in his last two starts in August, so his last trip to the mound was probably a fluke.

Wright should have a nice bounce back performance for the Braves while Junis has been wildly inconsistent for San Francisco. Atlanta knows they are in a must-win situation so they are the side to play here.
