"Braves' Dylan Dodd takes on the Pirates in a thrilling showdown"
The Atlanta Braves are looking for a series win against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with rookie Dylan Dodd taking the mound. Dodd has struggled in his starts this season, but the Braves may not need a stellar performance against a mediocre Pirates bullpen. The Pirates are countering with Johan Oviedo, who has average numbers but shouldn't pose a significant threat to Atlanta's strong lineup. Ronald Acuna and Matt Olson are in top form and could capitalize on the Pirates' pitching. Austin Riley may also return to the Braves' lineup after being sidelined with an illness.
