Astros vs. Braves prediction and pick

Framber Valdez has picked up right where he left off to start his 2023 campaign. Despite a 1-2 record, he’s sporting a 1.80 ERA in four starts, allowing just five earned runs in a combined 25 innings.

Now, he gets to face-off against Kyle Wright, who has allowed six earned runs across 8.2 innings in his first two starts of the season. Wright is looking to match last year’s performance when he lead the National League in wins, but a 6.23 ERA isn’t going to get it done and last year is starting to look like an anomaly.

The concern for the game, if you’re betting on the Astros like me, is their offense. They rank just 16th in OPS (0.719) through the first few weeks of the season, which has led to a 10-10 record ahead of tonight’s game.

Still, the advantage in the starting pitching matchup alone is enough for me to back Houston on the moneyline tonight.
