Braves at Pirates Prediction
BRAVES (-290) at PIRATES (+235), 7:05 p.m. ET, Total: 9.5
Pittsburgh was one out away from an upset of the Braves, but All-Star closer David Bednar blew his second save in three chances in an eventual 8-6 loss. Kevin Pillar and Orlando Arcia delivered the big hits against Bednar to help avoid a fourth straight loss. Atlanta has now seen four straight games go to the over, The high side is 7-3 in the Pirates' last 10. 22-year old rookie Quinn Priester (2-1, 8.69 ERA) looks to help the team pick themselves up and win the series but hasn't proven he belongs at this level yet despite the fact Pittsburgh has won in three of his four starts. He's had a 13:11 strikeout-to-walk ratio thus far and comes off his shortest start, working four innings in Milwaukee. In what ended up being an 8-4 win. The Pirates have scored 23 runs in Priester's last three starts.
