Pittsburgh is 4-2 in their last 6 games against the NL East and 0-5 in their last 5 Friday games. The over is 3-1-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 5 Friday games. Atlanta is 8-0 in their last 8 games and 8-2 in their last 10 Friday games. The over is 5-1 in Atlanta’s last 6 Friday games. Pittsburgh is 1-10 in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings in Atlanta.

This should be a good matchup between two pitchers that are having very successful seasons. Contreras and Strider aren’t two of the usual suspects that dominate baseball, but both come into this game with ERA’s below 3.00. Contreras has allowed two runs over his last three starts, while Strider has allowed four runs over his last two starts. Strider was used out of the bullpen for the majority of this season. I am taking the under in this game based on the pitching matchup and the Pirates poor offensive output so far this season.
