20* Pittsburgh Pirates
Tonight I am taking the Pittsburgh Pirates as road underdogs against the Kansas City Royals. The Pirates just got swept in Milwaukee and to add injury to insult, Jordy Mercer got hurt on Sunday. This team is going to rally and bounce back tonight behind their 38 year old veteran, AJ Burnett. Burnett has been very good all season and only has 7 wins due to lack of run support. The Pirates face Yordano Ventura who has been a shell of what he was he rookie year. He told MLB's official website he's not 100%. We're getting the better end of the pitching match up and a team hungry for a win, with a very generous price I might add. Take Pittsburgh!
