Result:
WIN

14-31 visits 25-19. Pretty different records, eh? Let's look at the away/home records. On the road Pittsburgh is 4-20 while Arizona is 15-9 at home! That's enough right there almost to make a play here. Arizona is scoring 6.1 per game in the Desert while Pittsburgh manages 3.4 per game away from home. Arizona has the better bullpen as well and momentum. Teams that have won 2 of their last 3 games, a good team (54% to 62%) playing a terrible team (38% or worse) are 180-69 (72%) over the last 5 seasons. Add in that Pittsburgh's starter, Victor Santos is 2-15 over the past two teams when facing winning teams and we have a play on the D-Backs.
