Pittsburgh at Colorado

The Colorado Rockies have certainly not showed much this season as they have long been out of the playoff race, but they have an opportunity to be a fly in the ointment of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates are within striking distance of the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central at four games out with 13 to play. The Pirates have been great at home at 50-25, but on the road very pedestrian at 39-35. This has not been a good spot for Pittsburgh, who is 8-17 in their last 25 here, and recently just 1-5. The Rockies have a long history here, especially as a home dog, where they are over .500 the last 12 years at 148-142. Looks easy, but far from it, make the play on Colorado in this one.
