Atlanta Braves
Teheran was solid in his last outing as he was able to put in a quality start, but got the no-decision in a 3-5 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
He went seven innings giving up just three hits, two earned runs, and one home run while he struck out seven and walked two.
In 133.2 innings of work this season, Teheran owns a decent 8.35 K/9, a high 4.38 BB/9, a high 1.55 HR/9, and a decent 76.2% LOB%.
The end-result is a moderate 4.24 ERA and a higher 5.16 FIP.

Pittsburgh Pirates
Williams put in his fourth quality start in his last five outings, but this time around he was tagged with his ninth loss of the season in a 0-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
He went seven stellar innings giving up just four hits, one earned run, and one home run while he struck out four and walked two.
In 130.0 innings of work this season, Williams owns a weak 5.95 K/9, a solid 2.98 BB/9, a decent 0.97 HR/9, and an okay 74.4% LOB%.

Free Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction: Atlanta edges out Pittsburgh on the road
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Braves +103 & First 5 UNDER
In Williams last six starts (36 innings), he has only given up a total of three earned runs and that was against some potent lineups.
Teheran has been solid himself as he owns a 2.89 ERA and a slash line of .156/.274/.274 in the Month of August.
I expect Williams to keep Pittsburgh in it for the most part, but Atlanta’s lineup should be in the difference in this one as Pittsburgh has only mustered 10 RBIs in their past seven contests.
