The Pittsburgh Pirates snapped a four-game skid with a 6-4 win here at Oracle Park on Friday. Their road record is still absolutely atrocious, and I expect them to be back to their losing ways on Saturday.

Pittsburgh righty Wil Crowe (1-5, 6.12 ERA) gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Mets in his last start. That was at home, and now he goes on the road where has posted a 6.67 ERA over 29 2/3 innings of work. Crowe has made one start against San Francisco in 2021, an outing where he was tagged with three runs on six hits in five innings.

The Giants counter with Kevin Gausman (9-3, 1.84 ERA) who is having a fantastic year. Gausman is 4-1 with a 2.25 ERA at home, with 58 Ks against only 22 hits and 10 walks through 48 frames. Gausman held Pittsburgh to one run on five hits with 12 Ks in eight innings back in May.

10* play on San Francisco Giants -1.5.
