The Braves will bring out the run support with Jake Odorizzi on the mound. Odorizzi's clubs have allowed at least four runs in four of his last six starts, and he has a 5.31 ERA in 9 night-game starts this season. He will be facing a Pirates team that is averaging 4.5 runs in its last 10 home games. The Atlanta bullpen also worked hard in a tough series against the Astros.
The Braves are averaging 5.3 runs per game in the last 10 road games, which is third in MLB. Pirates starter Roansy Contreras has a 5.23 ERA in 8 night games and has allowed 11 earned runs in his last 7 2/3 innings pitched at home. The Pirates bullpen also ranks 27th with a 4.61 ERA.
I expect Atlanta to win this game, meaning both teams will get a full 9 at-bats. I love the over here.
