Atlanta Braves
The Braves coughed up three home losses this weekend with the Rockies in town. They were playing so great before this series and Colorado played them tough all year so perhaps they will get right back to winning on the road in Pittsburgh.
But the Pirates aren’t done yet and won’t roll over. Instead, Atlanta has to buckle down and play its best baseball of the season in the last five to six weeks of the regular year.

I still think the offense is dynamic, though getting a little stale at this point. They need someone to get hot, preferably Ozzie or Freddie Freeman, though Freddie is almost always hot.
Then there’s the starting pitching, which has to be great in lieu of a battered bullpen. I think the first two guys starting this series, Kevin Gausman and Julio Teheran, have to be the guys. They are the biggest and most durable of Atlanta’s five starters. Otherwise, the Braves are relying on young kids and Anibal Sanchez.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Buccos went from a game under .500 to a game over with consecutive wins to close their four-game series with the Chicago Cubs.
Pittsburgh sends Ivan Nova to the hill. He’s in the midst of another solid and durable season. His walks have been low, as always, at least since he arrived in Pittsburgh, and while his overall numbers haven’t been as good as last year’s, they’re ok.

It isn’t to late for the Pirates, who got Corey Dickerson hot again in the final two games over the weekend. Perhaps he has another two week run in him.
