The Braves are averaging 6.5 runs per game this season. The Astros haven’t been as potent, but they have done plenty of damage while averaging 4.7 runs per game. Expect both teams to score in bunches in a pitching matchup between Darius Vines and Spencer Arrighetti. Vines didn’t miss a ton of bats at Triple-A and had just a 16.7 percent strikeout rate over 20 1/3 innings with the Braves last year. Arrighetti had a 4.64 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP at Triple-A last year. In his first start in the majors last week, he allowed seven runs over three innings to the Royals.
