Atlanta Braves vs. Baltimore Orioles: A Tale of Two Tired Teams
The Atlanta Braves (-180) and Baltimore Orioles (+210) clash in a rematch of their recent 3-2 Orioles victory, where Cedric Mullins and Jordan Westburg homered under the lights. The Braves, fresh off three shutout losses, are clinging to hope with a 3.76 ERA, while the Orioles’ offense (led by Mullins’ 2 RBIs in their last meeting) is a wrecking crew with a 4.88 team OPS. Let’s break this down with the precision of a broken calculator.

Key Stats & Context
- Braves’ Pitching: Aaron Bummer (4.15 ERA) vs. a Baltimore offense that’s hit 12 HRs in their last 6 games.
- Orioles’ Offense: Gunnar Henderson (.310 BA) and Ryan O’Hearn (12 HRs) are hungry for redemption after a 3-2 loss.
- Injuries: The Orioles’ Félix Bautista (17 saves) is healthy, but the Braves’ Austin Riley (ankle) is questionable.
- Weather: 82°F, clear skies—ideal for flyballs, but Truist Park’s short right field might favor left-handed hitters like Mullins.
