Pittsburgh at Cleveland

The hottest team is baseball right now are the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates are winners of 11 straight games, and the first two in this series, and will go for the road sweep today. While the numbers look strong for the Pirates, those same numbers are starting to work against them, as the bandwagon begins to fill. Remember, this team was seven games under .500 a short time ago. Sweeping three straight as a road dog in all three games is not easy, and teams trying to do so carry the baggage of a -8.1% ROI. Those numbers swell to -10.2% if they are trying to do so vs. a team better than .500. The numbers are catching up to the Pirates, so play on Cleveland.
