Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay

The Pittsburgh Pirates won four of their last five games on their homestand, but now they have to hit the road to open a series vs. the Tampa Bay Rays. The Pirates have been a different team on the road and will take the field having lost seven of their last eight games away from Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has suffered poor offense and pitching on the road, and in those last eight road games, they have been out-scored 45-23. Tampa Bay has struggled against the better teams, but the Rays have won seven of their last 10 at home when facing a losing team, and I look for them to come away victorious in this one. Make the play on Tampa Bay.
