The set-up: This series features a couple of lop-sided match-ups on the mound and this is definitely one of them in my opinion. For a number of different reasons, I think that Mike Foltynewicz and the visitors are worth the price of admission tonight. The home side goes with Tommy Milone on the hill.
The pitchers: Foltynewicz is so far 8-7 with a 3.04 ERA. He most recently gave up two runs and a walk while striking out six in a victory over the Mets on Thursday. Foltynewicz was scuffling before this, but he looked fantastic in his latest start and I think he'll carry that momentum over here. Note that he still owns an impressive 143:50 K/BB over 124.1 frames of work.
Milone is so far 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA. He most recently gave up one run while striking out nine over seven innings in a victory over the light-hitting Mets on Monday. Over 12 innings this year Milone has given up just four runs, but clearly he faces a stiff test tonight against the Braves' hard-hitting sluggers.
The pick: I like Foltynewicz to build off his latest effort, while everything points to a predictable letdown for Milone against this difficult line-up. Play on the Braves.
