Atlanta Braves at Pittsburgh Pirates 6/4/19 – MLB Pick, Prediction, Preview

Pirates PickThe Braves and the Pirates are going to be mixing it up in this game here. However, the game is slanted towards the Braves as the better team with the better record at least. The downside is the Pirates are a team that is due for a breakout type of game as the Brewers were able to take control over the Pirates in the last series. The Braves, though, are coming to the road after taking care of the Tigers in Atlanta and now PNC Park will be the place the Braves play and that could be an easy game for the Braves as they are 4 games over the five hundred mark on the road and the Pirates are 6 games under the five hundred mark.

The Braves are coming into this game here with a decent record and are definitely playing a lot better on the road than what the Pirates have done at home. That is going to make a difference in this game, but also what will help the Braves out is the fact that they are able to score quite a few hits, but also are able to bring the runner home compared to the Pirates who have not really been able to do much on the year in the small ball type of area and that leads to the Pirates offense not producing again. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win 5-2.
