Stephen Nover's Run Line Monday Big Casher
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -112.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Loss
The last time Max Fried took the mound the Braves won, 20-2, against the Mets five days ago. I doubt the Braves win by 18 runs again - although they are playing the Pirates so it's possible - but I do expect them to win by more than a run.

Each of the Pirates' last six losses have been by multiple runs. Pittsburgh has scored the grand total of 10 runs in its last seven games! It's no wonder the Pirates rank last in the majors in runs and homers.

Fried started slow, but he's a quality starter and is rounding into shape. He has a 3.00 ERA in his last three starts.

The same can't be said for Pittsburgh starter Chase DeJong, who is 0-3 with a 5.65 ERA. That ERA swells to 6.59 if you take DeJong's last three starts.

Atlanta has taken seven of the last eight games from Pittsburgh.
