On Friday, a series opener is on the schedule, with the Pittsburgh Pirates (36-38) hosting the Tampa Bay Rays (36-39) at 6:40 PM ET.
The Pirates (-115 moneyline odds to win) square off against the Rays (-104) in a projected tight contest. The Rays will hand the ball to Ryan Pepiot (4-4, 2.14), but the Pirates’ starting pitcher has yet to be announced for this game.
The Pirates won 1-0 over the Reds Friday in their most recent game. Colin Holderman was the winning pitcher after throwing one inning without giving up a hit or an earned run while striking out one, while Bryan Reynolds finished 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI to lead them offensively.
