A little morning matinee for us her e in the central time zone and out west, and one that should feature a pretty good matchup between the Atlanta Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. I know, the Pirates are bad and aren't going anywhere in the near future, so why are we making this a game of the day? Well, we take these games on a day-by-day basis, not what a team has done all year around. Plus, I have a best bet in this game, and isn't that what we are all here for? Let's make some money today.
Atlanta continues to rake as they try to inch closer and closer to the New York Mets for the NL East division crown. They have every motivation to win this game, and they have Wright on the hill. He's been magnificent in 2022, with his breakout campaign seeing him earn a 15-5 record with a 3.14 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Atlanta usually always has a chance when he is out there, and this game definitely should be no exception. Austin Riley, Dansby Swanson and M att Olson all continue to have their great seasons unfold. We haven't even mentioned Ronald Acuna Jr., that's how great it has been for Atlanta.
Pittsburgh is a different story entirely. They once again are at the bottom of the league standings and one has to wonder: when will the front office get serious about winning? They have had some great players over the last 5-10 years, and they have let all of them walk or traded them away. Bryan Reynolds is a guy on their team right now who is carrying them this season, but do we really have faith that Pittsburgh will hang on to a talented player who could serve a role on a championship team? I don't.
Keller comes into this game off an injury in which he had to leave his last start. He had given up four earned runs in two innings before leaving, and that isn't very promising. He has struggled at home this season, with a 4.80 ERA and 0-5 record. Wright has been pretty good on the road, with a 3.27 ERA and a 5-3 record.
Lean: Don't overthink it and take Atlanta here -0.5 first five innings.
