The MLB Comp Play is on Pittsburgh at 7:05 eastern. Since 2004 home favorites off a home win that scored 5 or more runs are 14-2 vs an opponent off a home favored win that scored 10 or more runs and had 0 errors. Texas is 1-5 on the road vs a lefty, 1-5 on the road off a home game, 4-14 on Tuesdays and 1-5 with rest. The Pirates have won 6 of 6 in the series an 23 of 30 at home vs a team with a .400 or less road win percentage. They are 9-1 at home vs A.L. Teams and 5-1 home off a home win. Brault has won 4 of 5 at home and Sampson has lost 5 of his last 7. No element of surprise here as the Pirates saw Sampson last week in Texas. Look for the Pirates to have Texas walking the plank tonight. Play on the Pirates. Rob V- Golden Contender Sports
