Braves vs Pirates Best Bet: Chris Sale Strikeouts
Braves ace Chris Sale seems to be all the way back.
His fastball averaged 95.8 mph last time out, which was his second-best mark of the season. He dominated Cincinnati with 10 strikeouts over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. Sale has double-digit Ks in back-to-back starts.
Pittsburgh has struck out at the sixth-highest rate against lefties. The Pirates rank bottom eight in OPS, wOBA and wRC+ vs. LHP.
Pick: Chris Sale Over 7.5 Strikeouts (+110)

Brewers vs Rays Best Bet: Milwaukee Moneyline
By Nick Galaida
The Rays have used Pete Fairbanks, Edwin Uceta and Manuel Rodriguez each in three of the last four days, including last night.
Even if they are available today, this is a tough spot for that unit to put the finishing touches on a win.
The Brewers should have opportunities as an underdog.
Pick: Brewers Moneyline (+125)

Marlins vs White Sox Best Bet: Fade Sean Burke
By Charlie Wright
This is a big number for Sean Burke.
The Marlins are a solid matchup for him, but they're not the slam dunk they were earlier in the season. This line seems to be leaning more on the season-long numbers for Miami, which might be a mistake.
