The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Arizona Diamondbacks start a three-game series. The Diamondbacks took two of three from the Braves while the Pirates are coming off a sweep of the mighty Dodgers. Arizona will send Merrill Kelly to the mound to face the Pirates. He has posted a 3-3 record with a 3.67 ERA. The Pirates will look to keep the momentum going by sending JT Brubaker to the mound. Brubaker is o-4 this season with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. Putting the Pirate sweep of the Dodgers aside, the Pirates have had a weak offense all season. Kelly has been the better pitcher all season and Arizona's offense is better on paper than the Pirates. This matchup favors the Diamondbacks and I like the small number.

Play on Arizona. This is an 8* play.
