Pittsburgh Pirates Analysis
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been struggling lately, dropping eight of their last ten games and falling seven games out of first place in the NL Central division. Despite winning four of their first six games, they have since been swept in series by the Mets, Red Sox, and Athletics. With unimpressive offensive statistics, including ranking 18th in OBP and 26th in home runs and RBI, they will need to improve to climb back into the Central race. The Pirates' pitching staff has a 3.77 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, with Falter set to pitch in the upcoming game after a couple of rough outings. Their power ranking is 26, with rankings of 24th for offense and 13th for defense. They have a record of 15-19 overall. If you're looking for more MLB winners, consider checking out our Expert Picks.
Rockies' Feltner looks to lead team to victory against struggling Pirates
The Colorado Rockies have a .250 batting average against left-handed pitchers, and their upcoming starter, Falter, had a subpar performance in his last outing, leading to an early exit after just 65 pitches. Falter, who transitioned from reliever to starter, has struggled with giving up home runs, allowing five in his six appearances this season and 17 in 18 games last season. Despite the Pittsburgh Pirates having a pitching advantage in Saturday's game with Jack Jones on the mound, it is unlikely they will secure consecutive wins. Feltner, coming off a strong performance, is expected to do well against a Pittsburgh lineup that has a .216 batting average, .298 on-base percentage, .307 slugging percentage, and .605 OPS against right-handed pitchers this season. With the Pirates averaging 9.4 strikeouts per game, Feltner's ability to strike out batters could give the Rockies the edge they need to secure a road victory in Sunday's series finale at PNC Park.
