This is a 1* Free Play on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The visiting Reds will send out Alfredo Simon (13-8, 3.26 ERA) to toe the rubber; Simon is coming off his best start of the second half where he allowed one run over seven innings in a win over the Braves. Note though that we shouldn't get too excited about him as he came into that game with a 5.40 ERA over seven starts prior. Note that Simon is 3-3 lifetime versus the Pirates but this is his first full year as a starter. The home side will counter with Vance Worley (5-4, 3.14 ERA) who is looking to get back on track after a tough strart, allowing four runs in six innings in a loss to the Brewers his last time out. The Pirates are a very strong team at home and with the pitcher's matchup pretty much a wash in my opinion, I like the home side to come out on top. The Bucs come in with a 43-27 record at PNC Park after yesterday's 2-1 win over the Reds. To be more succinct, the Pirates are a major league-best 23-9 at home since June 19th, just behind San Francisco and St. Louis for the top two spots in the wild-card standings. The Reds meanwhile are just 30-38 on the road. Keep an eye out for Pirates slugger Josh Harrison, the All-Star has been coming up with clutch hits all season and did again in yesterday's win. Consider Pittsburgh.
