A cheap price on an ace like Zack Greinke (3-1, 3.68 ERA), who is rounding into form, and still has it. He threw well against the first-place Diamondbacks in his last start, and before that threw seven scoreless innings against the Braves. He has a 2.79 ERA his last three starts, and the Dodgers are 6-2 in Greinke's last eight starts. Los Angeles defeated Pittsburgh 5-3 in 11 innings on Saturday, and has won 13 of the last 15 meetings, and seven of nine at PNC Park. The Dodgers are 19-9 in their last 28 vs. the NL Central while the Pirates are 7-15 against the NL West. Pittsburgh is very weak on offense, 24th in runs scored, 22nd in on-base percentage, and 23rd in slugging. Greinke is 5-1 lifetime against the Pirates, including a 3-0 victory April 5 when he allowed two hits in 6 1/3 innings, and the Dodgers are 36-16 in the last 52 meetings in Pittsburgh. Play the Los Angeles Dodgers.
