Diamondbacks vs. Braves prediction: MLB picks, best bets for Sunday

Add The New York Post on Google The Diamondbacks visit Hotlanta.

Arizona’s Michael Soroka returned from the IL (left glute strain) and shut out the Rockies at home for 4 ¹/₃ innings.

Soroka had trouble on the road prior to the injury, his ERA jumping from 2.92 to 4.54.

The Mets showed no respect for Elder, scoring seven runs on 10 hits.

Elder had allowed five runs in his previous 24 innings.

Can’t trust Soroka’s glute, so the gluten-free Stitches will bet $50 on Elder and the Braves.

Michael Soroka AP We played two road favorites on Saturday.

They both … wait, let me double check … yep, they both won.

Jesus Luzardo pitched 6 ²/₃ innings. Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer. Alec Bohm went 5-for-5.

Then Sonny Gray tossed seven shutout innings to pick up his 15th win.

Winner, winner chicken dinner! Down -477 garciaparras.

The one and only Stitches has been handicapping baseball, daily, for the Post since 2019. Miraculously, he has finished in the black twice. But wait there’s more. He showed his versatility by winning the Post’s NFL Best Bet crown last year.
