Pittsburgh at Kansas City

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 38-54 on the season, and despite some good young pitchers at the top of the rotation, their offense has not been able to produce much. The Pirates are tied with Kansas City for the fewest runs scored in baseball. The Pirates have been good at home (26-21), but the road has been a train wreck as they are 12-33. The Pirates have started this road trip with four straight losses, and did not score a single run against Seattle as they were swept three straight. Kansas City doesn't swing the bats well, but their pitching is outstanding. Seth Lugo is sizzling as he has allowed just three earned runs in his last five starts. I like Kansas City in this one.
