The Atlanta Braves will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates on what’s expected to be a sunny Sunday afternoon at PNC Park. The Pirates (24-28) have not been able to get their feet underneath themselves this season, yet three wins in their last five games provide a glimpse of hope in the short term. The Braves, one of the powerhouses of the MLB this season, will be spearheaded by veteran Chris Sale. Sale has enjoyed somewhat of a comeback year after struggling with injuries for the past few seasons. The tall southpaw is 7-1 with a 2.22 ERA despite clocking in at 35 years of age. He is generating whiffs at a strong pace and limiting hard-hitting balls very well. If he stays healthy, Sale has the opportunity to win another World Series, after winning with the Boston Red Sox in 2018. Martin Perez will be the opposing pitcher on Sunday, who has seen a return to his typical self after a stellar 2022 campaign with the Texas Rangers in his second stint with the ball club.

Atlanta Braves - Pittsburgh Pirates Key Points

  1. The UNDER is 15-8-1 in Braves road games
  2. Wind is expected to blow towards home plate
  3. Chris Sale hasn’t given up a run in his last 3 starts
  4. The UNDER has hit in Sale’s last 3 starts

Our Atlanta Braves vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

4 mph winds are expected to push balls down from center field in, lending to less run-scoring opportunities. If Martin Perez holds his ground against the mighty Braves, and Chris Sale continues being dominant in 2024, it wouldn't be a surprise to see most runs come once the bullpen enters the game. That leaves little time for the total to go over, giving us value on the other side. Our Atlanta Braves vs Pittsburgh Pirates prediction: Under 8.5 (-115) at FanDuel.
