The Atlanta Braves had a strong start to the season with a record of 10-4. The Braves have high expectations for this season since they want to win the World Series for the second time in the last three years.

They won four straight games going into Saturday, which is an especially strong streak. They scored about 7 runs per game on average over those 4 victories.

The Braves’ season was carried by their offense, which is now third in the National League in runs scored. They have a great team OPS of.812 and are batting.272 as a unit.

They are led by Ronald Acuna, an outfielder, and Matt Olson, a first baseman, both of whom are having a strong start to the year.

Kyle Wright, a righty, will start this game on the mound for Atlanta.

Wright had a difficult start to the season this year, but he is coming off a spectacular 2022 season in which he posted a 3.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 174 strikeouts over 180.1 innings.

Atlanta Braves vs Kansas City Royals Predictions 4/16/2023

The Royals had a difficult start to the season; they are only 4-10 entering the game on Saturday. They now dropped 4 of their previous 5 games, including the series opener against Atlanta on Friday, and things only got worse recently.

With just 47 runs scored through their first 14 games, the Royals currently have the lowest run total in the Majors. They currently rank fourth in baseball for worst run differential with a -21.

The season got off to a rocky start for star catcher Salvador Perez, who is hitting just.216 with a.618 OPS during the first two weeks.

Zack Greinke will start for the Royals in this contest. One of Kansas City’s all-time top pitchers, Greinke is a team legend.

Unfortunately, he was not the same pitcher he was during his first stay with the Royals since joining them again last season.

Greinke continued to be productive during the last three seasons, but not as effectively as he once was due to his inability to record an ERA below 3.65 in any of those years.

The total went OVER in 5 of Kansas City’s last 5 matches.
The Kansas City Royals are 1-5 SU in their last 6 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of the Royals’ last 5 games with Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves vs Kansas City Royals. The MLB pick for this game is the Atlanta Braves. Right now, the Braves perform the majority of tasks better than the Royals.

In terms of runs scored, Atlanta is near the top of their league, while Kansas City is at the absolute bottom. While Kansas City has one of the worst run differentials in baseball, Atlanta has one of the best.

Salvador Perez is struggling at the plate while Atlanta’s talents, including Acuna and Olson, are now lighting up the league.

It’s unlikely that the Royals will win this game, barring Greinke reverting to his 2009 Royals self, despite the fact that Kyle Wright and Zack Greinke both bring strong middle-of-the-rotation stuff to the game.

Atlanta will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
