1* free play on San Fran...
The Giants come into Steel Town as winners of eight straight, and they sit 6.5 games clear of the second place Dodgers in the NL West. The Pirates are reeling after losing five straight and 10 of their last 11. I like San Fran to keep the ball rolling here tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Giants send their ace to the mound, and Madison Bumgarner is riding a 10 game unbeaten streak. The Mad Bum is 4-1 with a 2.09 ERA in six road starts in 2016. Jeff Locke will go for the Pirates, and he's got ugly numbers versus Frisco.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Giants hitters have a combined .343 average versus Locke, and Brandon Belt is 3-for 4 against the southpaw. Belt leads the team with 10 home runs and a .305 batting average. He's gone deep five times in June already.

3. X-Factor - The Giants are 18-6 in their last 24 road games.
