Seattle at Pittsburgh

It's been a lousy road trip for Seattle dropping all five games. There's hope for an end to the slide with George Kirby (3.42 ERA) on the mound. He has a 143-to-17 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 144+ innings and the Mariners bullpen is seventh in WHIP. Last place Pittsburgh is on an 8-16 run. The offense is 23rd in runs scored, plus 26th in on-base percentage and slugging. The Pirates are 0-6 in the games that Jake Woodford (5.87 ERA) has thrown in. He won't last long and the bullpen is 24th in ERA (4.27) and 23rd in WHIP. The Pirates are 1-8 in their last nine as an underdog. Play Seattle.
