The Pittsburgh Pirates were in the shoes of the Houston Astros for two decades, but maybe not quite as deep. The Stros lost 113 games the last two years, and come limping into this one at just 11-30, which projects to an even uglier 119 losses this season. It certainly won't get any easier on the road vs. Jeanmar Gomez who enters a perfect 2-0 with a 2.28 ERA. Jordan Lyles is a mess and has an ERA of 8.36 on the season. His career numbers vs. Pittsburgh certainly doesn't offer a lot of hope, as he is 0-4 with a 7.77 ERA. This one has ugly written all over it, so take Pittsburgh on the runline.
