    Alert: Pirates Lineup vs Stros 7-2 McCutch in, Alvarez out

    Jordan Lyles was great in June. Guy worked on some things with his mechanics and got back to basics. Change Speeds, Change eye levels, work the corners in and out, work fast!

    Astros is the play, every which way

    think they hit the 160 range once this year but that's the highest I remember seeing them

    I can't give ya the exact number but the Bucs have an insane record when leading after 5. Like 37-1 or something stupid like that.

    I'm on the under. Astros couldn't hit Cubs' pitching, not even our bullpen. How will they hit McDonald and the Pirates' pen?

    I'd say this is more of a no play here. Can't see a reason to back the Stros

    I jummped on the Stros myself. They have lost 4 in a row, with just being swept by the Cubs. Lyles has not won on the road yet, and I just felt like this was a big let down spot for the Pirates to lose.

    I was on the under. I didn't think any major league caliber pitcher would get lit up by this putrid Pirates' offense. I was wrong.

    I'm sorry, but the individual batters themselves are not good. They all have holes in their swings. Pirates will finish around or slightly below .500.. par for the course.

    Pirates are the top hitting team (in terms of runs only) since June 1

    I can't see them keeping this up with just McCutch, Alvarez and pretty much a cast of no-bodies

    Don't get why you guys weren't on Pittsburgh? I thought they were the play of the day along with Milwaukee and St. Louis. Who gives a fukk about "juice" if you're picking winners.

    I had this play winning 42% of the time

    its a long term numbers thing. I cashed big on the Pirates as Dogs in St. Louis. Thought it was time to get back to fading them....
