The two teams will play in the second game of their three-game series tonight, and both sides have identical records at 6-5. The winner will advance to 7-5, while the loser will fall to .500 on the season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">Let&#8217;s dive into the odds and my best bets for tonight&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<p>Braves vs. Angels Odds, Spread, and Total<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/44ZqGYj\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7n\">Run Line<\/p>\n<p>Braves -1.5 (+114)Angels +1.5 (-137)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7t\">Moneyline<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7z\">Total<\/p>\n<p>OVER 8.5 (-115)UNDER 8.5 (-105)Braves vs. Angels Probable PitchersAtlanta: Reynaldo L\u00f3pez, RHP (1-0, 1.64 ERA)Los Angeles: Yusei Kikuchi, LHP (0-1, 6.52 ERA)Braves vs. Angels How to WatchDate: Tuesday, April 7Time: 9:38 p.m. ETVenue: Angel StadiumHow to Watch (TV): FanDuel Sports Network West, BravesVisionBraves record: 6-5Angels record: 6-5Braves vs. Angels Best Prop BetReynaldo Lopez OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (+104)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8n\">The Angels have had an issue with striking out so far this season, sporting the third-highest strikeout rate in the Majors at 28.6%. That should lead to Reynaldo Lopez having his best performance of the season from a strikeout perspective. Let&#8217;s bet the OVER on his strikeout total at +104.<\/p>\n<p>Braves vs. Angels Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8t\">In today&#8217;s edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/betting-100-every-day-for-a-year-day-93-picks-for-braves-angels-brewers-red-sox-and-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Betting $100 Every Day<\/a>, I wrote about why I&#8217;m putting $30 on the Braves to win as road favorites in Los Angeles:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8w\">One of my early-season strategies is going to be to back the Atlanta Braves when Reynaldo Lopez is on the mound for them. People forget that his last full season, he had a 1.99 ERA for Atlanta, so he has proven he can be one of the better pitchers in the National League. Despite that, I don&#8217;t think the betting market has much faith in him in the early weeks of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8z\">Not only do I have faith in backing Lopez, but the Braves&#8217; offense has been far better than the Angels&#8217; to begin the season, ranking sixth in wRC+, compared to the Angels at 21st.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"92\">Pick: Braves -136 <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/44ZqGYj\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">via FanDuel<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"97\">Create a new FanDuel Sportsbook account, and you can get<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/44ZqGYj\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> $250 in bonus bets back if your first $5 bet wins. <\/a>Download the FanDuel app and deposit a minimum of $5 to claim your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/fanduel-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel promo code <\/a>offer today.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9a\">Follow Iain on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IainMacBets\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iainmacbets\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9d\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9g\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9j\">You can check out all of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/betstamp.app\/u\/iainmacbets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Iain&#8217;s bets here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Atlanta Braves got off to a 6-2 start to their season, but have since fallen in three&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2390],"tags":[291,5,1165,446,3223,774,56,3224,3222,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-668678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-angels","8":"tag-angels","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-la-angels","12":"tag-laangels","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-los-angeles-angels","15":"tag-losangeles","16":"tag-losangelesangels","17":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116364348437115814","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
