Pittsburgh at Atlanta

Atlanta lost 8-4 on Saturday, but the Braves still are cruising to the best record in baseball heading into the postseason and Allan Winans will get the call today and make his first start since Aug. 21. That didn't turn out well in a 10-4 loss to the Mets, but his previous start he pitched seven shutout innings on four hits against them. Pittsburgh is 32-39 on the road and Luis Ortiz is 4-4 with a 4.90 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. Ortiz has allowed 18 earned runs his past five starts in 22 1/3 innings pitched and the Pirate bullpen is tied for #17 with a 1.32 WHIP. Atlanta has won 56 of 79 as a favorite and it has won 24 of the past 33 meetings with the Pirates. Take the Braves as a Max Play.
