The Braves are the better team with the better pitcher. They should take this game to avoid getting swept by the Pirates, as they have the better lineup and bullpen. Sale has pitched with a steady arm this season and they face Perez on the mound who has an ERA of 6.31. The Braves should get to him early for some runs. Perez has been terrible in May and has given up home runs in every game in the last month and a ton of runs in each. He is in such bad form that the Braves should win this game by a couple of runs as Sale locks down on them. Atlanta is 3-0 this season and 10-2 in the last few seasons when avenging two straight losses versus an opponent as a road favorite. Sale as a favorite of -175 to -250 is 6-1 this season. Perez is 0-4 in day games this season and 1-4 at home this season.

Best bet: take the Braves on the runline (RL).
