This is a 1* Free Play on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The visiting Atlanta Braves will send Ervin Santana (12-6, 3.66 ERA) to the mound; Santana earned a win over the Dodgers in his last outing, going six innings while allowing two runs and striking out nine. The right-hander has yet to face the Pirates in his career. Pittsburgh counters with Vance Worley (5-2, 2.51 ERA); Worley fell to 5-2 after allowing five runs (three earned) in 5 1/3 innings in an 8-4 setback to the Tigers on Wednesday. Worley has been a nice surprise since joining the Pirates this season though and is 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA at PNC Park. Note that Pittsburgh is 5-2 versus the Braves at home the last three seasons and should have the advantage here. The Pirates have struggled on the road of late, but a little home cooking is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked, they're 39-24 at PNC Park thus far. Atlanta is coming off a ten game home stand that ended with a Sunday night nationally televised contest, so in my opinion this sets up as a natural letdown spot. Consider taking the home team at a great price here.
