Zach Thompson (3-4, 4.60 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Pirates. Thompson gave up 4 hits and 2 walks across 5 scoreless innings Sunday, striking out 4 and earning a win over the Dbacks. He is 1-0 with an ERA of 2.13 and 14 strikeouts in 3 appearances versus the Braves in his career.
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 beat the Pirates again and they're now 11-1 in the last 12 games at home against them. They're sending Charlie Morton to the mound who has struggled this season and has allowed 4 runs per game in his last 3 starts. The Pirates will send Thompson to the mound who has help the team to win in his last 3 starts and I think he can keep this game close enough for the Pirates to cover the run line.
PICK: Pirates +1.5 (-110)
