Result: Loss
The set-up: Pittsburgh humbled Cincinnati 12-1 yesterday. Suffice it to say, I think "revenge" is in the cards on Saturday night. The visitors go with Nick Kingham, while the home side goes with Anthony DeSclafani.
The pitchers: Kingham is so far 4-4 with a 4.26 ERA. Kingham for the most part has performed admirably in his first year in the big leagues. If he's had one glaring weakness though, clearly it's been his performance on the road (just 1-3 with a 6.41 ERA away from friendly confines.)
DeSclafani is so far 4-2 with a 5.32 ERA. He's struggled at times this season, but note that the Reds are 35-25 (+11.5 units) in their last 60 at home when the money line in the contest is set between -125 and +125.
The pick: The Pirates exploded for the convincing victory yesterday, but note that they're still a terrible 20-25 (-3.4 units) on the road this year. After yesterday's pathetic effort, I'm expecting a big response from the home side in this one. Play on Cincinnati.
