Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be hosting a playoff game for the first time in over 20 years. You have to know that the Steel City is going to be going crazy, and this place is going to be loud tonight. Cincinnati really fell apart down the stretch, losing five straight games when they needed to win the most. The last three of those losses occurred right here in Pittsburgh where they were manhandled to a combined score of 16-6. The Reds are not only playing poorly right now, but their recent playoffs resume is nothing to boast about either, as they are 2-7 in their last nine post-season tilts. The Pirates have been getting it done at home vs. good teams where they are 19-7 in their last 26 here vs. a winning club. The Pirates are also 7-1 in Liriano's last eight home starts. Pittsburgh has finally come of age after a couple of seasons of falling short in the second half. Take the Pirates.
