Pittsburgh at Atlanta

Two former American League pitchers match up in this one and while Kevin Gausman has been a great pickup for Atlanta. The opposite is true in the case of Chris Archer. Gausman has won four of his five starts with the Braves while allowing only six runs in 32 innings while Pittsburgh has lost Archer's last three starts, including Sunday's loss at Milwaukee when he was knocked around to the tune of six runs on seven hits in only four innings. Archer has a 6.45 ERA with the Pirates, who won last night's game but still have lost seven of their last 10. The Braves still have a two-game lead over the Phillies in the NL East while the Pirates are out of the playoff picture. Atlanta has won 18 of its last 26 games versus right-handed starters and 12 of its last 16 against teams with losing records. Back the Braves.
