Taking the PIRATES here. I thought about jumping on these guys last night, and decided against. I don't know why. Like I have said when we were riding them on the west coast, these guys are playing much better. More like last years group. I like what Volquez has done lately. He has a .232 BA against and 1.119 WHIP overall. In his 11 starts, he really only has 3 bad outings. Garza on the road has been awful. An ERA of 6.59. 22 runs in 27 innings. 4* Money-Maker PITT PIRATES
