Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates RL
The Atlanta Braves may be writing a similar script to last season when they turned it on in the second half of the season and stormed to a World Series title. Atlanta has won 12 of its previous 14 games and brings a seven-game road-winning streak into this matchup. And we expect the winning to continue with ace Max Fried (11-4, 2.60) on the mound.
The Braves have won each of Fried’s last nine starts against teams with a losing record by a combined score of 42-15. He has slightly better OBA and WHIP numbers on the road than at home and allowed three or fewer earned runs in 15 of his last 16 starts overall.
Pittsburgh is 17-28 against left-handed pitchers, making it one of only three MLB teams 11 games under .500 against southpaws. In addition, its OPS, wOBA, and wRC+ against left-handed pitching this season all rank 27th or worse, and we do not expect JT Brubaker (3-10, 4.19) to match zeroes with Fried.
Bet: Atlanta Braves -1.5 Runs (-145 at DraftKings)
