Pittsburgh heads into Atlanta riding a three-game losing streak. Atlanta has won 8 straight after last night's 3-1 win over the Pirates. The Pirates will send Roansy Contreras to the mound for today's start. In his last start, he went 5.2 innings and allowed an unearned run and four hits. On the season, he has a 1.9 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP and has allowed two earned runs in 15.2 innings over his last three starts. The Braves will counter with Spencer Strider on the mound. In his last outing, he gave up one run on two hits in four innings against Colorado. He has allowed six runs and seven walks across his two starts after opening the year as a reliever. The Pirates out-hit the Braves on Thursday night, but still lost 3-1. Contreras has a sub-2.00 ERA so far this season, including three starts. Strider has allowed six runs and seven walks in two starts. Pittsburgh has an edge on the mound and may not need too many runs to get a big upset win.

Play on Pittsburgh. This is a 5* play.
