Taking the PIRATES here. This is the conversation I believe is happening across the globe by sports bettors. No way the Rockies get swept by the Pirates! Look. I have failed with Colorado the last 2 days. Bullpen blew our road Chatwood trends out of the water last night. Marquez is rocking an ERA of nearly 6 his last 3 starts which is higher than it looks. He gave up 2 runs in 5+ vs STL, then a 6 spot at SD before leaving after 3 innings in his last start getting hit on the hand (had allowed 2 runs). Kuhl has thrown some clunkers this year. 9 in 1.2 innings vs the Cubs really hurts his ERA. He has given up 4-6-5 runs in 3 other starts. But in those 8 other starts, 10 runs total allowing 2 or less runs in those games. He is only going to give us about 5-6 innings, but I think the pen holds up as the Colorado is ending its 7 games in 7 days road trip. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES
