San Diego at Pittsburgh

A bad situational spot fot San Diego, 3,000 miles from home and the Padres are 2-5 in their last seven road games. San Diego plays at home in a huge park, and notice that starter Tyson Ross has a 1.94 ERA at home, but that jumps to a 3.53 ERA on the road where he has walked 27 in 66 innings, a terrible ratio. The Padres are 1-4 in Ross' last five road starts, 1-6 when Ross is a road underdog. While San Diego has the worst offense in baseball, Pittsburgh has a terrific offense at 10th in runs scored and tops in on-base percentage. The Pirates are 19-7 as a home favorite and 21-9 in their last 30 against a team with a losing record. Play Pittsburgh!
