Pittsburgh at San Diego

The Pirates pitching has lifted them to a .500 record over the last 16 games. Over the last seven games, just one team has managed 5 runs for a total of just 18, or 2.6 per game. The Padres went for 7 runs in their last game, and the only significance of that 7 is it matches how many times their inept offense has been shutout already this season, leading the major leagues. The pitching certainly has the ability to keep them in games, already having shut down opponents to 3 runs or less in 18 games on the season. The Pirates are now 13-5 to the UNDER on the road vs. a right-hander in their last 18. The Padres are now UNDER to a 22-8-1 mark in their last 31 series openers. Play the UNDER.
