Free Betting Pick: Atlanta Braves -170
The Atlanta Braves are one of the top young teams in the MLB, and they should be a contender for at least a Wild Card spot. The Diamondbacks lost a ton of talent to free agency in the offseason, and they also are at a disadvantage in this one with the pitching matchup. Luke Weaver is coming off a good start for Arizona, but I am still not convinced as he struggled to open the season as well as pitched poorly against Atlanta last season. The young bats of Atlanta will be too much in their home ballpark which will result in a win. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win 6-3.
