Pittsburgh at Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves really did a crash and burn down the stretch as they are 4-15 over their last 19 games. They have an opportunity to take something away from another team, and that would be the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates have a magic number of two, and the Braves would like to keep it there. Pittsburgh has not been a good road team this season as they are six games below .500, while the Braves have been strong at home at four games over .500. Alex Wood has deserved better than his 11-10 record as he owns a 2.78 ERA on the season, and over his last 10 starts he has pitched as well as anyone as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 9 of the 10. The Braves have logged the win in his last four starts at home, and they keep Pittsburgh from shaving that magic number tonight. Play on Atlanta.
