BRAVES VS ORIOLES PREDICTION

The Braves will be trying to complete an undefeated nine-game road trip against the struggling Baltimore Orioles. The Braves have won 15 of their past 17 games and are on a franchise-best 12-game road winning streak.  The Orioles have now lost 17 straight games while the Braves have won 8 straight games. Atlanta will start right-hander Touki Toussaint (2-2, 4.01 ERA) Sunday against Baltimore left-hander John Means (5-5, 3.44). Means has allowed at least 4 runs in four of his six starts since returning from the IL, including nine home runs allowed in those starts. Touissant has had one bad outing but he hasn’t allowed more than 2 runs in any of his other 5 starts. Take the Braves to get it done today.
