Braves vs. Diamondbacks Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Friday, April 3

The Atlanta Braves’ bats broke out in a big way for a 17-2 win to open their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. They had scored just 12 runs in their previous four games.

Arizona’s offensive woes continued in that one for the second straight game. The Diamondbacks have scored just three runs in their last two games after putting up 16 in their two wins before that.

Eduardo Rodriguez is set to take the mound for Arizona against Grant Holmes for Atlanta in Friday night’s matchup on Apple TV.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Braves vs. Diamondbacks on Friday, April 3.

Braves vs. Diamondbacks Best MLB Prop Bets

Braves Best MLB Prop Bet

Ozzie Albies OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-148)

Ozzie Albies is coming off a 2-for-5 performance to open the series in Arizona, and he scored two runs in that game as well. He’s been moving around the Braves’ lineup, but he hit in the three hole in their only game against a left-handed pitcher this season.

That makes sense for Atlanta and Albies as the second baseman hit .277 vs. LHP as opposed to .225 vs. RHP last season, and is batting .326 vs. LHP in his career, much higher than his .244 mark vs. RHP.

Braves vs. Diamondbacks Prediction and Pick

When this Braves team is healthy, like it is right now, they’re tough to beat. It makes it even harder when guys like Drake Baldwin and Mauricio Dubon are contributing offensively as well.

It’s been an up-and-down start for Arizona, which got swept by the Dodgers before sweeping the Tigers in its first home series.

I’ll back the Braves as surprisingly short favorites after their offensive outburst last night.

Pick: Braves -115
