It wasn't long ago that both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals seemed to be battling for the No. 1 draft pick each season. Both teams have come a long way since then, and most of it has to do with pitching. Washington is currently 8th and Pittsburgh at No. 13, and the Pirates' pen ranks No. 7. At the same time, the bats on both of these clubs rank in the bottom 1/3 of the league, so runs will be hard to come by today. The Nationals have played five of their last six on the road to the UNDER, while the Pirates are 17-5-1 to the UNDER in their last 23 at home to a total of 7-8.5. Just one of the last five meetings in this series has slipped past the total in Pittsburgh. Play the UNDER.
