Arizona Diamondbacks vs Pittsburgh Pirates Analysis
The Arizona Diamondbacks host the Pittsburgh Pirates at Chase Field in the last of a three game series. It’s a battle of right -handers as J.T. Brubaker takes the mound for Pittsburgh, and Merrill Kelly toes the rubber for Arizona. First pitch is scheduled for 3:40 PM EDT.
The Bucs have a 44-66 record, tied with the Reds for last in the NL Central, while the D-Backs have a better-than-expected record of 50-59, good for 4th in the NL West.
It’s been a tough year for Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker with a 2-10 record, 4.49 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. However, the right-hander has pitched much better on the road than at PNC Park, a full 1.50 ERA lower at 3.90.
