San Francisco at Pittsburgh

The NL West was supposed to belong to the Los Angeles Dodgers from start to finish, and perhaps a serious challenge by San Diego. Shockingly, the San Francisco Giants, at 23-14, are holding down the top spot as we near the quarter-pole of the season. Pittsburgh has really been struggling as the Pirates have found the win column just three times in its last 14 games. Home has been painful for this Pirates team and fans as they own a 1-7 mark in their last eight. The Pirate offense has scored two runs or fewer in nine of their last 11 games. This is a complete mismatch as these two teams have been polar opposites to this point in the season. Make the play on San Francisco.
