Braves vs. Twins Key Players to Watch

Atlanta Braves

Spencer Schwellenbach: The 24-year old has been fantastic for the Braves since being called up to the Majors. He's been especially good since the All-Star break, posting a 3.35 ERA in six starts in that time frame. He's continued strong play will be key in their success down the final stretch of the season.

Minnesota Twins

Christian Vasquez: The Twins' catcher has been fantastic in August, posting a .333 batting average while bringing in nine runs in just 13 games. He has provided the Twins' offense a boost when they've needed it the most.

Braves vs. Twins Prediction and Pick

After a slow start to the month, the Braves offense has started to improve, but the Twins offense still ranks above them in OPS in August at .770 compared to Atlanta at .763. Minnesota is also rolling with one of its better pitchers in its rotation in Simeon Woods Richardson. The Twins have gone 7-3 in his last 10 starts. Woods Richardson has been especially good when pitching at home this season with a home ERA of 3.29.

The Braves, while still a solid team who can go on a deep playoff run if they get hot at the right time, tend to be one of the more overvalued teams in the betting market. Injuries and other circumstances have hurt them at times this season and I don't think they deserve to be a pick'em in Minnesota tonight.

I'll back the Twins to even up the series on Tuesday night.

Pick: Twins -106
