20* Pittsburgh Pirates
Tonight I am taking the Pittsburgh Pirates as home favorites against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Pirates lost a tough one last night but on a brighter side , former MVP Andrew McCutchen has been on a tear and hit a huge game tying 2 run double in the 9th. With Cutch back in All Star form and Starling Marte getting closer and closer to a return the Pirates could be poised to make a run in a division that nobody seems to want to win. Ivan Nova goes for the Pirates tonight and he has been their best pitcher this year, going at least 6 innings in ALL of his starts. Look for another strong 7+ inning start from Nova as the Pirates win. Take Pittsburgh!
