Pittsburgh winds up a seven-game road trip here, coming off a 6-3 loss yesterday. They are still in first place, though the offense hasn't hit much all year, 21st in baseball in runs scored, 18th in on base percentage, and 23rd in batting average (.245). The Pirates are 3-10 as a road favorite, and 5-12 in A.J. Burnett's starts against a team with a losing record. Burnett hasn't been on his game with a 5.82 ERA his last three starts. Meanwhile, the Giants finish a nice seven-game home stand and have Ryan Vogelsong going, who has a 3.78 ERA his last three starts. The Giants are 18-5 in Vogelsong's last 23 starts with four days of rest, and the team is 16-6 in Vogelsong's last 22 home starts. Play the Giants.
