Pittsburgh at Atlanta

Premium Pick

The Atlanta Braves have played themselves out of the playoff picture with a total meltdown late in the season. The Braves are just 5-17 over their last 22 games, and all that is left for them now is try and put a hurt on another team trying to secure a playoff spot. They will have a good opportunity to do just that behind Julio Teheran. Teheran has a 2.88 ERA on the season. Teheran has been extra tough at home this season where he sports a nifty 2.04 ERA on the season. The Braves have also handled Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke, who has a 4.41 ERA against the Braves in three career starts, and the Pirates are just 2-5 in his last seven road starts, and Pittsburgh has not responded well as a dog where they are 4-9 in their last 13. The Braves bring a 9-3 record into this one behind Teheran at home vs. a winning team. Take the Braves.
