Landon Knack gets the nod, and that’s a dangerous proposition given his 5.22 ERA and 5.35 xERA. The 27-year-old has some holes in his game, allowing too much hard contact (third percentile average exit velocity, second percentile hard-hit rate), which leads to a .286 xBA (12th percentile).

The favored Padres have -229 moneyline odds to win against the underdog Pirates, who are listed at +188.

The Braves are an underdog (+114 on the moneyline to win) when they host the Red Sox (-134).
