Milwaukee Brewers vs. Atlanta Braves Preview

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Atlanta Braves Preview - July 18th

The Atlanta Braves are looking to put a cap on their lead in the National League East. While they are currently at the top of their division, the Phillies and Mets are not too far behind and are readily looking to take over top billing. Now that the season is over halfway done, the Braves must continue their winning ways if they are to recognize their goal of making it to the Playoffs as division champions. Milwaukee has been a little below average this season, which seems to correlate with how competitive they have been in the past couple of seasons. They just can't seem to get over the proverbial hump, and it is starting to affect their performance on the field. For this game, betsfreebets.com is projecting the Atlanta Braves for the free wager win.

Milwaukee's struggles have mainly been due to a sub-par starting rotation that has not been providing the innings that are necessary for the team to be successful. Besides Yovani Gallardo's better-than-average start to the season, no other Brewer pitcher has really stepped up and separated himself as one of the team's top pitchers. Dave Bush and Randy Wolf have both been mediocre, as neither has really given the Brewers much in the way of quality starts. Corey Hart and Prince Fielder are both on pace to put up exceptional power numbers again this year, but unfortunately, their propensity towards power hitting has not equated into wins for Milwaukee. You can expect that Milwaukee will be on top of its game in this series against the Braves, but too many factors point to this Sunday afternoon free bet going to the team from Atlanta.

If it wasn't for a guy by the name of Ubaldo Jimenez, Tim Hudson might be the frontrunner for the National League's Cy Young Award. Hudson comes into this game with a 9-4 record with a 2.30 ERA. While he is not much of a strikeout pitcher, Hudson is very good at limiting his mistakes and capitalizing on the opposing team's weaknesses. Martin Prado has taken everybody by surprise this season, as he is currently hitting .329 with 10 HR and 39 RBI. His bat in the front of the lineup has allowed Bobby Cox to mix and match guys like Chipper Jones, Troy Glaus, and Brian McCann into different position in the order to maximize their run scoring potential. They will need this versatility if they are to get the projected free wager victory against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Atlanta is one of the National League's most skilled teams, and they really enjoy playing it like they are the cream of the crop in baseball. Manager Bobby Cox is considered to be one of the top baseball minds in the game and is often given credit for the franchise's resurgence after a couple of down years. Against the Brewers, look for the Braves to take an aggressive approach at the plate in order to maximize their run scoring potential. If you're looking for the best team to get your free bet down on, betsfreebets.com suggests looking no further than the Atlanta Braves.
