Result: Loss
I'm playing on PITTSBURGH. The Pirates lost a wild one yesterday, falling 17-13 in extra innings. Today, however, I expect them to have the advantage. Holland has quietly pitched pretty well. Through two starts, he's got a 0.97 ERA. The Pirates won one of those and lost the other by a run, despite facing a pair of relatively tough lineups and being big underdogs in both those games. Today, facing former teammate Nova and the Tigers, Holland and co. actually opened as small favorites. That's for good reason, in my opinion. Despite facing arguably weaker opposition, Nova has been far more hittable than Holland, as he has a 1.406 WHIP. Even with last night's win, the Tigers are still a dismal 54-110 on the road, the past 2+ seasons. Yesterday's game notwithstanding, the Pirates have fared well in recent years in Interleague play. Expect them to bounce back and stop the bleeding this afternoon.
