0-7 Paulino and 0-7 Kawakami pitch on Sunday

[No coincidences]

Both have been improving lately, despite what their records indicate. Paulino's facing a red-hot Cincinnati team at the GAB and Kawakami gets the Pirates at home.

Who wins? FTR, Paulino's +165 but Kawakami is -175 -- has an 0-7 pitcher ever been such a heavy fave? And check out Maholm's career #'s vs. ATL -- might be worth a Pittsburgh play.

I think the Pirates are worth a look.

Paulino's record would have been WAY better if he played for a team with an average offense. I think he might still pitch a great game and lose if the HOU offense doesn't show up. I think it is due to show up but of course you never know with the Astros.

On Paulino, GL!

The Pirates are a good bet today.

[Sawyer]

Astros are 0-5 in Paulinos last 5 starts vs. Reds.
Paulino is 1.74 WHIP and 5.94 ERA in his last 3 starts.

Fade Paulino..

Mike Leake is 1.24 WHIP and 1.86 ERA in his last 3 starts.

The pirates are a team to watch over the next few seasons

wow with both of those stats iam ready to jump on reds and over. thanks

Paulino is about to get rocked.

never bet against streaks. Reds are as hot as anyone right now. Astros are trending towards being a pile of dogshit. Plus they are on a losing streak.

The "their due" theory is one of the bigger fails in the use of logical reasoning.

the pirates may take one from the Braves today
