The Pittsburgh Pirates are spiraling out of control and it won’t get any easier for them tonight when they head to the Great American Ball Park for a meeting with Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds. Jordan Lyles is expected to start for the Bucs and this guy should not be in the Bigs because he’s awful. Lyles is 5-7 with a 5.36 ERA. Over his last 3 turns, his ERA is 14.62 and the Pirates are winless in his last 8 starts. That’s not good. Sonny Gray will be tapping the rubber for the Red Machine and he has been delivering. Over his last 3 turns, Gray has a 1.89 ERA and the Reds are 5-1 in his last 6 starts at home.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CINCINNATI REDS
