Why you should back the Braves

Atlanta is scheduled to send right-hander Charlie Morton to the mound. In his fourth season with the Braves, he is coming off a year in which he went 14-12 with a 3.64 ERA. He started 30 games in 2023, pitching 163.1 innings, allowing 150 hits, 66 earned runs with 83 walks and 183 strikeouts. In four career starts against the White Sox, he is 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA. In 24.2 innings, he has allowed 15 hits, seven earned runs with seven walks and 22 strikeouts. Atlanta should have the edge on the mound with Chicago starting Chris Flexen, who had a 6.27 ERA with the Rockies last season.

Left fielder Jarred Kelenic has been on fire to start the year. In three games, he is 5-for-7 with a double and two RBI with one walk. In Saturday’s 12-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, Kelenic was 3-for-4 with a walk, one run scored and two RBI. Last season for the Seattle Mariners, he hit .253 with 25 doubles, two triples, 11 homers and 49 RBI. In five career games against the White Sox, he has tripled, homered and drove in five runs. See which team to pick here.
