Pittsburgh looks for its first win of the season after blowing a 3-0 lead in the opener and Trevor Williams is a good bet to get it as he comes off a 14-10 season and he pitched well against the Reds. The right-hander allowed only two runs in 12 innings with eight strikeouts versus Cincinnati in 2018. Williams is going against Sonny Gray, who will make his National League debut after finishing last year with a 4.90 ERA with the Yankees. Gray was bothered by a stiff elbow in spring training and he got off to a terrible start last season with a 6.67 ERA in the month of April. The Reds are 7-17 their last 24 games versus NL Central teams and Pittsburgh has won eight of the last 10 meetings. The wrong team is favored in this matchup. Play the Pirates.
