The Braves are coming into this game with a 57-49 record this season and they have been playing better in their recent games. They are coming off of a 5-1 win against the Brewers with a chance to win this series now and they have won 3 of their last 4 games as well. They are going to be pushing to win this series with a win here as they have the Mets heating up in the division now, right on their tail for 2nd place. They are going up against a Brewers team that is 61-46 this season, but they have not been great recently as they have lost 3 of their last 5 games. Their offense has also been very inconsistent in that span as they have scored 3 runs or less in 3 of their last 5 games. Chris Sale is starting for the Braves in this game and he is 13-3 with a 2.68 ERA this season. He has been phenomenal all season and in his recent starts as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 8 as well as 14 of his last 15 starts. He has been just as good on the road as well, allowing 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 8 road starts. Freddy Peralta is starting for the Brewers in this game and he is 6-6 with a 3.94 ERA this season. He has not been pitching well in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 4 runs in 2 of his last 3 starts, allowing at least 3 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts as well. He has actually been worse at home in July as well, allowing 9 runs total between his last 2 home starts and he allowed 16 hits in those starts as well, only striking out 10 batters. He has allowed at least 4 runs in 3 of his last 5 home starts as well and that is going to be a recipe for disaster with the Braves offense heating up now. The Braves are now in a race with the Mets so they are going to be pushing to win this game and their offense has a much bigger advantage here since Sale has been shutting teamd down all season. The Brewers struggled to score in their 5-1 loss to the Braves on Tuesday and this game is not going to be any better for them as Sale will pitch deep into this one as well. The Braves are going to win this game.
