Point Spread: -1.50 | -105.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Win
Neither team has been scoring much. The difference is the Pirates aren't going to break loose eventually like the Padres are because they don't have the offense and stars that San Diego possess.
That, in a nutshell, explains the pitching matchup, too, of JT Brubaker versus Yu Darvish.
Brubaker has been a highly pleasant surprise for the Pirates with a 2.63 ERA. Perhaps Brubaker will continue to pitch extremely well, but his metrics suggest he's due for regression, including a hard contact ratio and a 91.2 left on base percentage.
Darvish is at the superstar level with a 3-1 record and 2.13 ERA. That ERA shrinks to 1.35 ERA if you take Darvish's last 33 1/3 innings. The Pirates are averaging two runs during their last five games.
