The Arizona Diamondbacks were on the fast track at 5-1, that is until the Pirates came to town. Pittsburgh has scored 11 runs in the first two games, further exposing the D-Backs' shaky rotation and pen. Despite their 5-3 record, Arizona has allowed 38 runs in the eight games, at just about 5 per contest and have allowed 6 or more in half of them. The Pirates have now won five of their last seven to a winning team since the end of last season. Arizona continues to struggle vs. left-handed pitching where they have dropped their last five. Wade Miley has led the D-Backs to a poor 1-5 mark at home in his last six starts here. Take the Pirates.
