Atlanta Braves vs Pittsburgh Pirates: YRFI (-140)
The Atlanta Braves continue to thrive offensively and recorded another 15 hits in their 6-5 win yesterday. Their league-leading 215 home runs are 34 more than the second place Dodgers, and their 111 first inning runs are 23 more than that same Dodgers' team. Atlanta has shown no signs of slowing down and they've scored at least 4 runs in 11 of their last 12 games. This afternoon they'll go up against left-hander Bailey Falter, who will make his second start since his trade to the Pirates. Falter allowed 1 earned run across 4.0 innings in his Pirates' debut, but his 4.87 ERA and career-low 15.6% strikeout rate are concerning.
