Atlanta is expected to send left-hander Drew Smyly (3-3, 5.63 ERA) to the mound on Sunday night. He is looking to win back-to-back starts for the second time this season. In his last outing at Miami on June 13, he allowed just two runs on six hits in five innings pitched. He walked one and struck out six. He did not allow a home run after allowing at least one in eight of 11 games.

Offensively, the Braves are led by outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., who is hitting .293 with 18 homers, 43 RBIs and has scored 56 runs. He had a six-game hitting streak stopped on Friday, but is 10-for-24 (.417) in the past seven games. He has a .603 slugging percentage on the year with a 1.008 OPS. In 12 career games against the Cardinals, Acuna is batting .280 with a double, two home runs and six RBIs.

St. Louis will start left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim (1-4, 3.72 ERA), who has pitched better of late. In his last outing, he got a no-decision in a 2-1 Cardinals victory over Miami on Tuesday. In six innings, he allowed one earned run on three hits with a career-high five walks and six strikeouts. This will be the first time he has ever faced Atlanta.

Third baseman Tommy Edman has played well this season and is batting .260 with four homers, 18 RBIs and 37 runs scored in 68 games. He doubled and scored the Cardinals' lone run in Friday's 9-1 loss. He has 18 multi-hit games this year, including a four-hit performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 1. He has a .305 on-base percentage and a .684 OPS.

SportsLine's model is leaning under on the total, as the teams combine for 7.2 runs in the simulations, and it also says one side of the money line has all the value. You can only see the pick at SportsLine.
