Giants at Braves Prediction 5/5/18

At first glance, I was looking towards playing the UNDER for this game. Both starters have pitched well this season allowing a combined three or fewer runs in 12 of their 13 starts. We get an umpire behind home plate that has favored the UNDER this season with three of his four games behind home plate resulting in an UNDER. After going more in-depth, I have a different opinion. The Giants starters have destroyed Brandon McCarthy hitting as a group .314 versus the right-hander in 121 at-bats. The sample size on Ty Blach is a very small facing three hitters totaling nine at-bats picking up four hits for a .444 batting average. The two offenses have been lighting up opponents with San Francisco scoring four or more runs in seven of their last eight and Atlanta in10 of their previous 12. The number is a little high, but I'm bitting.
