They say Morton is a sinker-baller. Whatever. He has four pitches that he normally commands very well through five innings. Then his command gets spotty. The Pirate's apt pen is rested.

I doubt Koehler can duplicate his last outing. He did make some pitches, had a few breaks, but mainly I'm betting his feel for his slider and change-up aren't as good today. His fastball is very hittable.

Andrew McCutchen is one of very few players when in a slump, rather than betting the odds are it continues, I'd say he's due.

Lastly, Koehler is from The Bronx. His next start is at home vs. Harvey. It'd be hard not to look ahead. That's just how it goes....

I'll fade the steam and sail with the Pirates tonight at -137

Good Luck Boys!!
