Play: Pittsburgh Pirates
Rating: 10/10*

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be looking to bounce back from a 4-2 10th inning loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. I think they'll come through here with Ivan Nova (7-5, 3.06 ERA) on the mound. Nova gave up four runs on 11 hits over seven innings Wednesday in a 4-2 loss at Milwaukee, but he's been outstanding at home this season, going 5-2 behind a 2.53 ERA. The Rays hand the ball to Blake Snell (0-4, 4.71 ERA) who will return from a dominant stint in the minors, but I think even the Pirates' bats will be too much to handle for the left-hander here in the majors. Note that the Pirates are 7-1 in their last eight interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter and the Rays 2-8 in Snell's last 10 road starts.
