The Pirates won for just the fourth time in 27 games last night, but they have not won two in a row in over a month. You also have to go back to the first two games after the all-star break, over two months ago to find the last time they beat a team with a winning record in back-to-back games. It won't be easy against Randy Wolf who has been dominating hitters and shouldn't have a problem vs. a Pirates’ team hitting under .250 for the last month. Wolf has pitched eight straight quality starts and sports a 2.41 ERA in those eight, as well as not allowing more than six hits in any of them. He has a WHIP of 0.844 during this hot stretch, and the Dodgers have won eight of his last nine starts. I will go with the Dodgers in this one.
