Los Angeles at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates are a complete joke, and they have just one player on their entire roster with even as many as 50 RBI. They also have just one player with as many as 20 HRs, so you would think speed must be their thing, but they aren't doing that either. All the top players have been traded for prospects, which don't seem to pan out, and the Pirates are once again facing a 100-loss season. The result is a 3-23 mark in their last 26 games where they have been out-scored 159-82 or by 6.1-3.1 or three runs per game. They will go with Jeff Karstens who has pitched out of the bullpen the last 3+ months, and has not worked more than 3.2 innings since mid-June, meaning he will be on a pitch count and thus exposing the middle relief of the Pirates to extended duty. I'll go with the Dodgers here.
