I was really interested in this game from the PIRATES side, but it doesn't look good. The lineup they are sending out today isn't a very promising lineup.


no GOMEZ, SANCHEZ, MCLOUTH in the lineup. Instead you got RIVAS, MICHAELS, BAUTISTA.

It's garbage.


It's going to come down to the pitching and if the DBACKS can hit with REYNOLDS, JACKSON, HUDSON and if BURKE gets off the inning to a good start then I see the DBACKS winning by 3 or 4 runs.





DUKE is not a strikeout picher. He will only bet 1 or 2 K's this game and that means ground balls. The DBACKS will hit it up, for doubles and fly singles. I see DUKE getting bombed a couple times.
