MLB *DOG OF THE DAY*
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Colorado,
Money Line: 120.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Pittsburgh Pirates
Rating: 8/10*

The Pittsburgh Pirates are steaming hot, coming off five straight victories and with just one loss through their last nine games. The Colorado Rockies have won four straight, but I think Pittsburgh has the edge in Friday's matchup.

Trevor Williams (3-4, 4.69 ERA) has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last six starts. The Colorado Rockies hand the ball to Jeff Hoffman (6-1, 4.33 ERA) who is 2-1 despite a bloated 6.44 ERA in six games (five starts) home at Coors Field on the season.

The Pirates are 8-1 in the last nine meetings in Colorado, and I think they'll give Williams enough run support to win this game.
