Here we have two teams going in completely opposite directions. The Pirates have lost 16 of their last 19 games. Arizona has won 13 of 15. Pittsburgh is starting Tom Gorzelanny who after a good start has really cooled. He's winless in his last three starts posting a 7.05 ERA. The Pirates are 19-32 on the road, scoring 3.9 runs per game. The past two seasons they are 18-51 on the road vs. winning teams! That includes a 9-26 mark as a road dog of +100 to +125. Arizona's offense is inept too but whereas Pittsburgh is allowing 5.6 per game on the road on the season and 6.9 per game over their last seven, Arizona holds opponents to 4.5 per game at home. This line has value on a hot team vs. a horrible cold team with a cold starting pitcher.
