Stephen Nover's MLB Total of the Week
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Milwaukee,
Total: 8.50 | 126.00 Over
Result: Loss
You have to believe pitching is going to dominate here. The Braves are starting Mike Foltynewicz, who is having a breakout season with a 2.02 ERA. Foltynewicz is in tremendous form with a 0.87 ERA in his last nine starts, striking out 64 in 52 innings during this span.

Foltynewicz has dominated the Brewers, too, with a career ERA of 1.48 versus them in four starts. The Braves' bullpen is bolstered very much with the return of closer Arodys Vizcaino from the DL.

The Brewers are going with exciting rookie Freddy Peralta, who has a 2.28 ERA in five starts. Peralta has been particularly brilliant in his last three starts compiling a 1.50 ERA with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 22-to-four in this span of 18 innings. The Brewers have one of the better bullpens in baseball.
