The Pittsburgh Pirates will play host to the Atlanta Braves in a pitching duel between Mitch Keller and Kyle Wright.
Keller has been just fine for the Pirates. He has somewhat stabilized — as his advanced metrics had predicted earlier this season — but that is about it. He still owns a below average Exit Velocity and Hard Hit Rate.
This does not bode well going up against a torrid hitting team like the Braves, who own the sixth-best wRC+ (115) off of right-handers in the month of August.
Unfortunately for the Braves, Wright has had more average outings in the second half of this season. He has a 3.82 ERA since the All-Star break, which is still solid, but is a fall from grace considering his first-half ERA was sub-3.00.
