Pittsburgh Pirates - Atlanta Braves Key Points

  2. Atlanta is 10-1 SU in its last 11 games.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Atlanta has been dominant against the Pirates at home in recent years, winning 17 of their last 20 games at Truist Park. The Braves are sending lefty Joey Wentz, who has pitched to a 6.14 ERA in his last five starts. Wentz’s numbers might not be eye-popping, but the Braves’ starter will get a rare chance to show his stuff against the Pirates’ offense, which has averaged 2.2 runs per game in their last 10 games against left-handed starters.

The Pirates have tapped RHP Mitch Keller, who will make his first start since squandering four earned runs in a 3-4 loss to the Athletics on September 19. Keller has posted a 3.58 ERA across his last five starts, but is only 1-2 with a 4.00 earned run average in his last three starts vs. the Braves, who are 8-2 against the spread in their previous 10 games.
