Atlanta Braves vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
The Braves had lost two in a row where they gave up a total of 21 runs before getting the shutout win in the first game of this series. While Atlanta is in 2nd place in the NL East they are still 7.5 games back of the Washington Nationals, as they are the only team in the division that is over .500. The Giants are reeling losers of four in a row and five of their last six games. They rank 2nd to last in the Majors in runs scored and in their four-game skid they have only totaled six runs with four coming in one game. San Francisco sits in 4th place in the NL West 12 games back of the Colorado Rockies. Foltynewicz has been pitching well in his last three starts, where he has picked up all of his wins, and Blach has been solid at home all season. This game will be a low scoring affair just like Game 1, but this time around the Giants will come out on top, as Blach will win the pitching duel against Foltynewicz.
