I’m taking my chances on the Pittsburgh Pirates again today. Jameson Taillon will get the call for the Bucs to try to end this 4-game skid. Taillon has been delivering, with a record of 4-2, an ERA of 2.97, a WHIP of 1.35, and the Pirates are 6-2 in his last 8 road starts. Mark Leiter Jr. will get the nod for Philadelphia. Leiter is 1-0, with an ERA of 4.20, and a 1.27 WHIP. Leiter is vulnerable to the long ball, surrendering 3 homers in his last outing against Seattle. Ryan Blakney is calling the game and the road team is 4-0 in his last 4 when he is behind the dish. Cutch and company get it done today.
Today’s Pick:
Pittsburgh Pirates
