Result:
LOSS

The numbers say it all for this play. The Pirates are 1-7 when Santos faces a team with a winning record such as the Giants. The Giants are 5-0 of late against right-handers, 4-1 in their last 5 games and 6-2 of late against the Pirates in a head-to-head series. Both Morris and Santos have struggled lately but I feel that Morris will come through strong today at home as the Giants need a good performance from him as the other members of the rotation are pitching extremely well including Schmidt and Noah Lowry. While the Giants are having success against right-handers the Pirates are not as they are just 4-9 of late against righties. I beleive both pitchers will pitch well today but I frankly trust the home town offense in the Giants as they have been on a roll in San Fran since the pressure on Bonds and team has been released after passing of the Babe. San Fran has won their last 7 out of 10 games since. Pittsburgh is the absolute worst road team in the league and we only need to lay -131 to fade them. They are 2-15 this season on the road vs. winning teams and 5-25 overall.
