The Pirates should get themselves out of last place with a win here and a Reds' loss vs. Cleveland. Pittsburgh is playing its best ball of the season, winning six of its last eight. Gerrit Cole is pitching as well as anyone in baseball right now. He's got a 1.58 ERA over his last five starts. The Bucs have won all five of his starts against the Braves, including one in April. Mike Foltynewicz has lost all three of his starts against the Bucs, including one in April, and has posted an 8.25 ERA in those starts. Pirates get the win.
I love the Pirates behind Gerrit Cole on Monday night in Atlanta, as they're winning 67 percent of my simulations as modest favorites. Back Pittsburgh to improve to 16-6 in its last 22 meetings with the Braves.
