Atlanta is near the bottom in the major leagues in almost every offensive category, including a .615 OPS, which is 30 percentage points worse than the next highest team. Mike Foltynewwicz has been a bright spot in the otherwise dismal season for the Braves as he comes off two outings of allowing only two earned runs in 15 innings, including eight shutout innings at Kansas City in a 5-0 win on Saturday. Jeff Locke had three quality starts before losing to the Cubs in his last appearance, but Pittsburgh hitters who have faced him have a .161 batting average against the left-hander. Also, Locke has pitched better at home this season with a 3.86 ERA as opposed to 6.15 on the road. The Braves are 3-0-1 UNDER in Foltynewicz's last four starts. Play the UNDER.
