West meets East from the National Leagues as the Arizona Diamondbacks travel to SunTrust Park to take on the Atlanta Braves in the first of a three game series. The teams occupy 2nd position in their respective divisions, 9.5 and 7.5 games behind the leaders. Below we offer an analysis on where we believe the game will be won and lost.
The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks return to regular season action from the All-Star mid-season hiatus having recorded two of the biggest first-half turnarounds from a year ago in the entire National League. The weekend’s match-up really is a meeting between two of the MLB’s most improved sides.
Having a big say in our betting tips below will be each side’s starting pitcher. The vastly experienced R.A. Dickey (6-5, 4.23 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for Atlanta and he will be up against the strong arm of Taijuan Walker (6-4, 3.65 ERA) who is expected to take the mound for the visitors. Braves center fielder Ender Inciartes is also one to look out for, he was their only player picked for the All-Star game.
Ahead of our Atlanta Braves vs Arizona Diamondbacks betting pick, the home outfit won two and lost two of their four game series against the Washington Nationals before the break, while the away team have only won once in their last five contests. The Braves come into the MLB tie on a positive13-8 run overall.
AZ have won five of the last seven match-ups between our featured teams, though the results could have gone either way on a couple of occasions. ATL’s 3-1 win when they last met was preceded by a narrow 10-9 victory for the men from Phoenix.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Arizona Diamondbacks prediction is our call on the money line and the away side look slight favourites to take the win. Torey Lovullo’s D-Backs may be in a slightly worse form, but their 3-0 series win over ATL last May should give them the confidence they need to start the second half of the season with a bang.
Our free pick hits the bookies’ number of runs market where under 11.5 runs is priced at 1.42 at Betsson. Six of the last eight meetings between the pair have returned under that figure and we think there is value to be had in that selection.
