I think the home side finds a way to get the job done this evening. The visitors hand the ball to Shelby Miller (0-3, 8.49 ERA) who owns the second-worst ERA for pitchers who have logged more than 21 innings. So far Miller has failed to last four innings in three of his last four starts. The home side counters with Julio Teheran (0-3, 3.72 ERA) who is coming off consecutive strong outings, scattering eight hits and giving up one run over 14 innings while walking four and striking out 17.
Teheran has aggressively attacked both sides of the plate and maintained consistent velocity in his past two starts. Improved location of his two-seam fastball has helped him better handle left-handed hitters.


Look for Atlanta to notch the win here at home on Saturday night.
