Gerrit Cole has an explosive fastball and above-average cutter, curve and change-up. In 2017 he has been 40 cents better than the average pitcher when pitching at home. Alex Wood has been sensational for the Dodgers, especially on the road. But he also has been lucky, as evidenced by his xFIP road ERA of 3.49. I'll jump in front of the LA Express, Give me Pittsburgh.

The Dodgers have won 52 of their last 62 games and are 22-6 in their last 28 road games, so you must be absolutely crazy to side against them tonight at Pittsburgh. But the Dodgers proved they were human with a loss yesterday against Justin Verlander, and they've lost eight of their last nine at PNC Park. The Bucs have won four of five behind So Cal native Gerrit Cole against the Dodgers. The Bucs have won nine of Cole's last 12 starts. Pirates are the play.
