Analysis
The Pirates are coming into this game with a 38-37 record this season and they have been playing better in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 5 games and their offense has been on fire with 18 runs scored in their last 2 games alone. They are going up against a Rockies team that is 28-47 this season and they have not been playing well recently. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 7 games and their pitching has not been great in these. They have allowed 5+ runs in 6 of their last 7 games and they have allowed 7+ runs in 3 of their last 5 as well. Bubba Chandler is starting for the Pirates in this game and he is 2-7 with a 4.76 ERA this season. He has struggled this season, but he has been a lot better over the last 2 months and in his recent starts. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 2 as well as 3 of his last 5 starts and he is going to be facing a weaker offense here. He has been good on the road this season as well, allowing 2 earned runs or less in 4 of his last 5 road starts, and he has also been great against the Rockies in his career as he has seen them once which was last season and allowed no runs in 4 innings pitched. Kyle Freeland is starting for the Rockies in this game and he is 1-7 with a 7.98 ERA this season. He has been awful all season and in his recent starts, allowing at least 5 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 as well as 6 of his last 8 starts. He has also allowed 6+ earned runs in 2 of his last 4 starts at home, allowing at least 3 earned runs in all 4 of those, and he is 3-5 with a 5.15 ERA in 10 career starts against the Pirates. The Pirates are going to continue to get better pitching out of Chandler as he improves and they have the much better offense to lean on here as well which will be the difference in this game. The Pirates will win this game.
