The Braves have won seven straight, and six of them went Over the total thanks to their bats getting lots of work against the Marlins' and Pirates' weak pitching. Atlanta has averaged seven runs per game during the win streak while batting .290. Philadelphia's Nick Pivetta has pitched well in his last two starts, but the Phillies have lost three of their last four. I'm riding the Braves' hot streak.

Both starters in this matchup don't get as many strikeouts as you'd ultimately hope for, but both do a good job of limiting hard contact and walks, while drawing ground balls. Max Fried is better at it than Nick Pivetta, but both are above average (with Fried being well above). It's a lot harder to score a bunch of runs when you're hitting groundballs, so I think there's value on this Under.

The Braves are red-hot but the pitching matchup favors Philly. Nick Pivetta is 2-0 wth a 1.80 ERA since returning from the minors, while Max Fried has been shaky over his last three starts. Play on the road dog.

In consecutive games, the Atlanta Braves bullpen showed vulnerability against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But thanks to a 12-game stretch of averaging 6.9 runs, the Braves were able to extend their win streak to seven games. On Friday they’ll face a Philadelphia Phillies team that’ll be a tougher test thanks to pitcher Nick Pivetta, who has been dominant in his last two starts. Even though the Phillies have the advantage of a day's rest, look for the Braves to continue to find a way to win. Grab Atlanta.
