Chicago at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh will try to salvage the third game of this series after losing the first two, and Juan Nicasio is a prime candidate to help the Pirates accomplish it. The right-hander has had only one bad outing in five starts and comes off seven shutout innings against Cincinnati on Friday when he allowed just three hits, struck out eight and walked one. Also, Nicasio is 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA at home this season with 21 strikeouts in 19 innings. The Pirates lead the majors with a .911 OPS and .400 OBP against left-handers as they go up against Jon Lester. Take advantage of the home underdog and play the Pirates.
