Atlanta Braves vs Houston Astros: MLB Live Stream, Odds, Predictions, Schedule, Lineups and Injury Report, 19 August 2022

On Friday, SunTrust Park will host an MLB match between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves. This matchup may serve as a preview of the World Series if all goes as planned for both of these teams. The Astros now have a record of 77-43 overall, and their most recent victory was a significant one. The offense outscored the Chicago White Sox by 21 runs, which helped the team win. Although the Astros offense has been good, the pitching has been even more outstanding. The Astros are second in the league in run differential with 3.33 runs allowed per game. Kyle Tucker has 80 RBIs and 21 home runs to his credit.

The Braves, who are on the opposite side of this battle, have an overall record of 73-47 and managed to win three out of four games in their most recent series against the New York Mets. The pitching was excellent on Thursday, only allowing two runs, but the team still lost. The Braves are third in the league in run average at 4.88. Matt Olson has 25 home runs and 79 RBIs to his credit.

Lance McCullers Jr vs Kyle Wright

Lance McCullers Jr. is the Astros’ pitcher, and in his first start of the year, he pitched six innings while allowing just two hits and no runs. Kyle Wright, who is currently pitching for the Braves and has a record of 14-5 and an ERA of 3.14, is in the circle. He went six innings in his most recent start against the Boston Red Sox, allowing six hits and one run. In Wright’s previous seven starts at home, the Braves are 7-0. In their previous five interleague games, the Astros are 5-0.

In the Braves’ last six interleague games, the over is 6-0. In Wright’s previous four Friday starts, the under is 4-0. In the Braves’ last four home interleague games, the over is 4-0. Although both of these attacks have been strong, the pitching will be the key to this game. Wright just had a start in which he allowed one run, and McCullers Jr just finished a game in which he allowed none. Expect this to be a traditional pitching duel, with the under winning.
