Pittsburgh played yesterday at home and now makes a long trip to the West Coast. The Pirates are on a 1-6 run despite playing all but one of those at home. The offense is 21st in runs scored, 25th in on-base percentage, 27th in slugging, and 19th in steals. Mitch Keller has a much higher ERA on the road (3.88) than at home (2.58) and the bullpen is ranked 26th in ERA. Los Angeles plays its fourth straight at home with an offense that is fifth in runs scored, third in on-base percentage, and fourth in slugging, while the pitching is ninth in ERA and seventh in the pen. Batters are hitting just .211 off starter Jack Flaherty (2.80 ERA) and the home team holds all the cards. Play Los Angeles.
