Max Fried (13-6, 2.52) is getting the start and in his most recent start, also against the Phillies, he gave up 4 hits and 2 runs in 6 innings but didn’t get a decision in the 7-2 Atlanta win.

8:15 PM Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns

Steelers: +4.5
Browns: -4.5
Total: 39.5

The Browns (1-1) blew a 13-point lead in Sunday’s 31-30 home loss to the New York Jets. Pittsburgh (1-1) also had a setback, as it lost 17-14 at home to the New England Patriots. Pittsburgh will be looking to get its passing game going in Mitch Trubisky’s third straight start since he is averaging just 5.1 yards per completion ranking 32nd among 33 qualifying quarterbacks. The Steelers running back Najee Harris is also off to a slow start with 72 yards on 25 rushes but he dominated the Cleveland defense for 279 yards in Pittsburgh’s two-game sweep of the Browns last season. The Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was a full practice participant and should be playing while Cleveland star defensive end Myles Garrett is dealing with a neck injury. The Browns guard Joel Bitonio will probably be missing the game and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was ruled out Monday.

🏈The Steelers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss.

🏈The Steelers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. AFC North.

🏈The Steelers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.
