The Atlanta Braves are missing superstar Ronald Acuna Jr., and they’ll take on the rolling San Francisco Giants at Truist Park on Thursday, June 18.
My top Giants vs. Braves predictions and MLB picks expect San Francisco to hand Atlanta another loss for the series sweep tonight.
Who will win Giants vs Braves today: Giants moneyline (+124)
Life without Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) has been tough on the Atlanta Braves.
They’ve dropped five of six while averaging just 2.8 runs per game and ranking 29th in wOBA during the short stretch.
Additionally, it’s been a smoke-and-mirrors start for veteran lefty Martin Perez, and there’s serious statistical correction ahead of his .230 BABIP and 80.2% strand rate considering they’re both high-end marks among pitchers with at least 60 innings this season.
The San Francisco Giants are just the offense to kick-start the regression, too. San Fran is pacing the majors in wOBA and is fourth in xwOBA over the past 30 days, after all.
I’d recommend the Giants moneyline down to +110.
COVERS INTEL: Giants starter Landen Roupp’s 29.9% hard-hit rate ranks in the 92nd percentile of MLB pitchers, and his minuscule 3.2 barrel percentage is in the 93rd percentile, so I’m anticipating him holding the Braves in check enough for the San Francisco offense to pull away on the scoreboard. 
Giants vs Braves Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 (-116)
Even with the noted Atlanta slump, this total is too low.
The Giants have averaged 5.5 runs per game during the highlighted offensive heater, and the Braves still have a formidable lineup without Acuna.
Atlanta ranks ninth in wOBA against right-handed pitchers and third in overall xwOBA, so I’m anticipating the Braves still chipping in offense tonight, even with San Fran starter Landen Roupp sporting a run-of-the-mill 3.91 xERA and 3.90 xFIP across 231 1/3 career innings.
This Over is in play to -125.
- ML/RL bets: 28-14, +15.77 units
- Over/Under bets: 14-13, -0.03 units
