Atlanta Braves
The Braves play Colorado one more time on Sunday to try and avoid a sweep at SunTrust Park. The Rockies came back from a three-run deficit with two outs in the ninth inning on Saturday to tie the game and eventually win it in ten innings.
Colorado has had Atlanta’s number this year so while none of these losses are making anything easier, I still believe in the Braves, however much they are inexperienced at trying to lock down a playoff spot down the stretch of the regular year.

That said, if there’s something that worries me, it’s Atlanta’s pitching staff. Mike Foltynewicz looked great on Saturday but the bullpen blew it. None of Atlanta’s pitchers are particularly durable, or have at least proven to be at another point in their careers, and the bullpen is starting to run on fumes. A few choice guys have to step up.
Pittsburgh Pirates
A month ago, Chris Archer and Kevin Gausman were pitching in the AL East. They never met this season but I’d be willing to bet they have at some point in the past.
The Pirates snapped a five-game losing streak on Saturday with a win over the Cubs. It’s not too late for them to make a run at the playoffs but they’re going to have to get hot like they were last month for at least another two weeks if it’s going to happen.

It isn’t likely and because of that, they’re catching a lot of heat for trading for Chris Archer. Thing is, that deal wasn’t so much about this year as it was the next three. Archer is signed through 2019 with team options in each of the two season to follow. If the Pirates can straighten him out, they’re happy to have made the deal, especially if Tyler Glasnow, who got hit hard at Fenway this weekend, wouldn’t have panned out for them.

Gausman ought to be the guy who steps up for Atlanta. I think he and Archer each pitch well.
