The best way to play this Braves vs. Brewers matchup is to take the Braves on the money line at +105. We have the Braves winning this one by a score of 6-4, giving us some room to take them on the money line, even though the payout is not as high as the payout for the Braves to win.

Looking at the starting pitchers, we have Colin Rea going 12th among starters in terms of picking up a win, so we would stay away from him in the Brewers lineup. If you’re looking for a parlay option, you could look to take the Braves and look for some other games to parlay them with.
