German Marquez has been fantastic in four of his five road starts, and the Pirates are just 3-9 when Chad Kuhl starts. Even though the Rockies have dropped their last three, I like them to get the win in Pittsburgh to avoid a sweep.

The Pirates are aiming to complete a series sweep Wednesday as Andrew McCutcheon continues to ignite the offense. Pitching for the Rockies is German Marquez, who has struggled in consecutive outings. Marquez lasted just three innings in his last start and gave up six runs prior to the Padres. Still, he should get the better of Pirates starter Chad Kuhl, who has five losses and five no-decisions in his past 10 starts.
