COACH RICK FREE PICK:

GAME TOTAL UNDER 7.5

Schwellenbach is in good form right now with two straight quality starts. He struck 11 in each of his last two games and both of those games went Under the total. Birdsong has a 2.37 ERA and he hasn’t allowed more than 3 ER in a start all season. Neither of these lineups is hitting well. Four of the last six Braves games have gone Under the total and, for the season, Atlanta is one of the top Under teams in baseball - 23-33-5. The Giants are in the same boat - 12 of their last 13 games have cashed on the Under. Seven of their last nine at home and 5 of the last 6 against the Braves…all Under the total.
