T.M. Selection: Pirates/Braves OVER.

I am on the over in the Pittsburgh Pirates vs Atlanta Braves game on Sunday. The Braves have won all 3 games of this series against the Pirates and 2 of those games were on the lower scoring end but I think this game is going to follow suit with their most recent game and go over the total here. The Braves just won 10-4 yesterday and they have been getting really hot lately. The Braves have won 10 games in a row now and they have been putting up a ton of runs in those games which has helped fuel this huge run. I don't see them going cold here and I expect them to put up a ton of runs again in this game. Jose Quintana (1-3, 3.19 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he has been good this year for the most part but lately he has looked shaky and I think he is going to continue going downhill since he has been in his previous games. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and he hasn't looked great in any of his previous 4 starts either. He has been giving up a lot of runs in those games and he has been giving up a ton of hits too. Those hits haven't been converting into as many runs as they could have but against a hot team like the Braves with the way they're hitting, this is going to be trouble for the Pirates. Kyle Wright (6-3, 2.39 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has looked great this year with only 1 really bad start so far but I think he is due for a bad game since he has been pitching a lot better than he actually is. I don't think he will give up a ton of runs here but I expect him to get hit here and I think he will contribute to this game going over. I expect to see a lot of runs here, I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Braves.
