I like the Atlanta Braves to come through with a win here in the finale of this three-game set Thursday afternoon.

The Pirates hand the ball to Chris Archer (2-5, 5.66 ERA) who has allowed three runs or more in each of his last six starts. He was tagged with four runs on five hits (two homers) in seven innings of a 9-4 win over Milwaukee last time out but the Pirates had lost each of his last seven starts prior to that.

Atlanta hands the ball to Mike Foltynewicz (1-4, 6.10 ERA) who was knocked around by the Tigers his last start but had allowed just two earned runs over 12 innings in his last two starts prior to that outing.

The Pirates are scoring an average of 4.24 runs on the year, placing them 23rd in the major leagues while Braves average 5.05 rpg, ranking them 10th.

Pirates are 6-20 in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Braves are 13-3 in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

8* play on Atlanta Braves.
