The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped the first game of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks and now have split their last ten games. The Pirates have been playing better than expected and will look to turn things around by sending Tyler Anderson to the mound. So far this season, he has posted a 5-8 record with a 4.35 ERA and 80 strikeouts this season. In his career against the D'backs he is 3-3 with a 6.27 ERA and 59 strikeouts.

The Arizona Diamondbacks took game 1 of the series and have gone just 4-6 in their last 10. Arizona has now won two in a row and will look to build on their momentum. Arizona is expected to go with Taylor Widener.

The Pirates have won three out of five games. The D'backs have dropped four out of their last six games but have won two in a row. Tyler Anderson has given up two or fewer runs in three consecutive starts including seven shutout innings against the Brewers. Widener has went 5.1 innings or fewer in three straight starts. The Pirates should do well against Widener and or the pen.

Play on Pittsburgh.
