Atlanta has won six consecutive series, and our Tigers vs. Braves predictionsand MLB picks expect that to continue at Truist Park.
Who will win Tigers vs Braves today: Braves (-117)
Casey Mize has pitched well for the Detroit Tigers this season. However, his last three starts came against teams ranked 24th or worse in ISO.
The Atlanta Braves rank fourth in ISO and third in wRC+. That’s bad news for a pitcher whose hard-hit rate ranks in the 29th percentile.
Atlanta has also punished opposing bullpens all season, and the Tigers have a subpar one.
Detroit relievers have thrown the fifth-fewest innings, yet rank 15th in HRs and walks allowed. Over the past two weeks, they’ve allowed opponents to hit .299 while posting a 5.60 ERA .
COVERS INTEL:
If he had enough IP to qualify, Martin Perez ’s -1.93 ERA/FIP differential would be the fourth-largest among all MLB starters this season.
Tigers vs Braves Over/Under pick: Over 9 (+105)
I see value in the Over, in part because Martin Perez is prime for regression. His xERA is nearly two runs higher than his actual 2.70 ERA , and his 4.44 xFIP is in line with his numbers the past few seasons.
The Tigers rank second on the season in xwOBA and ninth in BABIP. They’re eighth in ISO and rank third in the metric over the past two weeks.
Perez limits walks and avoids barrels, but he doesn’t generate a lot of whiffs or strikeouts. An inability to avoid contact means the Tigers will get to him for a few runs.
