Rain has been a regular guest at Truist Park in Atlanta, where the Braves, in their eagerness to make up for their poor start to the season, saw the game delayed for a long time, and a 1-1 draw against the Phillies in the sixth inning was stopped by rain.

Without a doubt, the Braves' best player in the first half of the season has been Spencer Schwellenbach, who continued his furious start to the season by pitching another six innings of just one run before the rain interrupted.

The Braves won't be resting and will travel to Tampa to play at George M. Steinbrenner Field against the Rays. The substitute home of Tropicana Field has proven to be a hitter's park and represents a good chance for the Braves to improve their collective AVG of 218 as of Thursday.

The Rays have played and will continue to play there for much of the start of the season, and with a 5-7 record, they won two of the three series they played there to start the year but lost the last one against the Angels in a game 3 where they allowed 5 HR.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

Taj Bradley will start Friday for the Rays with a 4.91 ERA in 11 IP this season, although he struck out 14 and gave up 4 BBs. Friday's game could be a good opportunity for the Braves to give their offense a boost, HRs seem to be common in the Rays' temporary home and the Braves' collective 4.39 ERA seems to be an indicator that a game total OVER is likely. Our prediction for Braves vs Rays is: Over 8.5 runs.

Prediction:

 

Over 8.5 runs.
