Contreras gave up an unearned run on 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 8 in 5.2 innings during Saturday's win over the Dbacks. He didn't factor in the decision. He hasn't pitched against the Braves.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Pittsburgh's last 9 games on the road.
Pittsburgh are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games when playing on the road against Atlanta.
The total has gone OVER in 10 of Atlanta's last 15 games against Pittsburgh.
Atlanta are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Braves pulled out the win with a struggling but effective performance from Max Fried and they're now 10-1 in the last 11 games at home against the Pirates. Spencer Strider will start for the Braves and he has only 2 starts this season and has allowed 6 runs in 8.1 innings. Contreras is going for the Pirates and he has been good so far this season and with the Braves covering the spread at home only the 37% of the time I'll take the Pirates with the run line.
PICK: Pirates +1.5 (-110)
