Soroka for the Braves and Quantrill for the Guardians are both just recently back in the majors. Neither has settled in well yet. Soroka’s last three starts have resulted in a 6.89 ERA. Quantrill has been even worse in his last 3, losing them all and getting shelled to the tune of a 15.44 ERA. His last one, which was his first after his rehab assignment, he lasted 3.1 innings and was shelled for 6 runs.

Chances are both managers will go to their bullpen fairly early which will be tough as they played 10 innings Tuesday night. The Braves bullpen has had 1.99 ERA in its last 3 and 2.88 ERA in its last 10. The Guardians (who have a good bullpen) have had a 4.88 ERA in their last 3 and 3.96 in their last 10 so the edge goes to the Braves in this one.

The Braves bats though have been tops in the majors the last 15 days with the #1 OPS and #2 avg while the Guardians have been in the bottom third of the majors for OPS (9th in avg.).

This season the Braves have been 27-12 on the road, 13-3 as a road fav, 7-1 in their last 8 road games and 6-1 in their last 7 road games vs. RHP. The Guardians have been a modest 20-20 at home this season. This all adds up to the Braves having no problem covering the spread.
