Expect a close game with the Braves edging out the Cardinals. Fueled by their robust batting and reliable pitching staff, the Braves are poised to continue their strong form at home. However, don’t count out the Cardinals entirely; their slightly better batting average this season could turn the tide if their pitchers can step up. Ultimately, banking on the Braves for a marginal win while considering an over on the total runs might be a calculated approach.
