The Pittsburgh Pirates have been rather underwhelming this season with their play on the road specifically causing them issues all season. However, those struggles on the road have been amplified recently, as the Bucs have gone just 3-8 SU and against the runline in their past 11 road games. The Pirates continue their weekend series with the Dodgers in LA Saturday.
- Gerrit Cole is 2-0 with a 4.05 ERA in two career starts at Dodger Stadium.
- The Dodgers are 1-6 in their past seven games against the Pirates.
- The UNDER is 9-2 in the Pirates’ last 11 road games.
Gerrit Cole has been one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball this season, as he has allowed two or fewer runs in 11 of his 17 starts. Cole has been especially good at keeping the ball in the yard, as he has only given up three home runs all season.
Brandon McCarthy will rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation after spending a week in the bullpen trying to solve some mechanical issues. McCarthy has a 5.91 ERA with 12 walks in his past three starts.
