The Pittsburgh Pirates look to take their home series with the Tampa Bay Rays after tying the series with a win yesterday. The win snapped the Rays four game winning streak. The Rays will look to get back on the winning side by sending Aaron Civale to the mound. Civale has not fared well against the Pirates recently, losing two of his last three. On the season, he is 2-5 with a 5.42 ERA. On the road, he has posted a 6.75 ERA. Tampa’s offense is putting up 4.01 runs per game. Paul Skenes gets the start for the Pirates. In eight starts, he has posted a 4-0 record with a 2.29 ERA. His ERA is 3.43 when pitching at home. Pittsburgh is putting up 4.03 runs per game. The Rays have struggled on the road and they have been inconsistent at the plate, especially in June. i like Skenes to pitch well against the Rays and for the Pirates to get enough done against Civale to secure a win.

Play on Pittsburgh. This is a 3% play.
