Cincinnati is on a 3-4 run winning twice as a dog. The Reds are 18-7 after playing seven or more straight home contests. Starter Luke Weaver makes his debut after having a 3.05 ERA on the road last season. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is .500 at home and returns from a seven-game road trip. They just teed off on the Rockies, a team with the second-worst pitching in the majors, but the Pirates are 3-18 after having won four of their last five. Pittsburgh's pitching staff is 23rd in the league in WHIP (1.43) and 24th in the most walks allowed. Starter Roansy Contreras (6.00 ERA) has allowed 18 hits and eight walks in 15 innings and allowed nine hits and seven runs in his only home start in 3+ innings. Batters are hitting .310 off him and Cincinnati took two of three from the Pirates to open the season, outscoring Pittsburgh 13-8. Play Cincinnati.
