Not in love with laying a short price on the Pirates? Understandable. Allow me to point one thing out, though. Pittsburgh is home and facing Mike Minor.
Minor has made 13 starts for Cincinnati this season. The Reds are 1-12 in those outings. They've lost 10 in a row when Minor has started. The washed-up southpaw has a 6.31 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. He's surrendered 13 runs in his last 18 innings. He has a 5.19 career ERA against the Pirates in six meetings.
The Pirates play better at home where they are 26-32 compared to 21-41 on the road.
Pittsburgh is starting Zach Thompson. He's nearly as bad as Minor with a 5.51 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. However, Thompson has had success against one team - Cincinnati. He has a 2.14 lifetime ERA in 21 career innings against the Reds, including tossing 11 scoreless innings against them this year.
