The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost 3 in a row and will try to right the ship tonight when they travel to Citizens Bank Park to take on the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies are the worst team in baseball, with a record of 27-53, and are 14-20 at home. The Pirates will send the ex-Yankee Ivan Nova to the hill. Nova is having a productive year, with a record of 8-5, an ERA of 3.08, a 1.11 WHIP, and the Bucs are 5-0 in his last 5 starts against the National League East. Aaron Nola gets the nod for Philadelphia. Nola is 5-5, with a 4.13 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.39. The Phillies are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 1-4 in Nola’s last 5 starts against the National League Central. Pittsburgh has owned Philadelphia, going 17-7 in the last 24 meetings. Good dog bet on the Pirates.
Tonight’s Pick:
