Pittsburgh's 26% strikeout rate and lowly .607 OPS make them one of the worst teams in MLB vs. lefties. With a dipping swinging strike rate, David Peterson has recorded a 6th strikeout in just 3/7 starts, but one miss was at five, and a matchup like this could help provide some positive regression. He's better against lefties and gets unlucky facing a lineup full of righties tonight, but there should be some less experienced bats in this Pirates order thanks to injuries/matchup, so that could be an equalizer. Peterson's only pitch that ranks above average on Stuff+ is the slider (106), and it's relied upon most for his punch outs. It's a pitch this lineup has struck out on and hasn't found much success against.
