Free Betting Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates -105
Both of these teams come into this matchup with 2 of their struggling starters, but I like the Pittsburgh Pirates at home in this one considering the better career Chris Archer has put together. The Atlanta Braves have failed to win many games with Mike Foltynewicz on the mound as they have only won once in his last 9 starts. Chris Archer has struggled deeply for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he was once regarded as one of the top pitchers in the MLB, and he still has the potential to return back to form. Josh Bell is quietly putting together an amazing season in Pittsburgh, and we can’t forget about the veteran outfielder in Melky Cabrera. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Pirates win 7-5.
