In Friday’s victory over the Seattle Mariners the Pittsburgh Pirates erupted with eleven total runs. The Pirates lineup certainly won’t explode to that degree today against Mariner’s ace Luis Castillo. Yet, look for enough runs for the over to hit.

The Pirates bats showed up last night with 15 hits and seven home runs and I like them to continue it tonight against a slumping Luis Castillo who just ended a four-game slide by beating the A’s. Vincent Velasquez has been pitching like an ace lately allowing just four runs combined over his last five starts turned into four Pirates wins. Pirates to win.
