Charlie Morton will go to the hill for the Braves on Saturday. He has been in top tier form, and has garnered a 13-5 record this season along with an ERA of 3.49, a WHIP of 1.05 including 192 Ks. He brings enough quality form into this tilt to give credence to me backing him as an underdog. Meanwhile, Alex Wood goes for the Giants, and despite of being a viable hurler, will be in deep here vs a Atlanta side that has feasted on lefty hurlers this season, as is evident by averaging 5.8 rpg of output.
The Braves lost yesterday in the first game of this series by a 6-5 count, but they have proven resilient in the past after a defeat going 24-9 in their last 33 games following a loss.
Braves are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.Braves are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in San Francisco.
ATLANTA is 21-8 against the money line in road games vs. good defensive catchers - allowing 0.5 or less SB's/game in the second half of the season this season.
