The Pittsburgh Pirates have been a bit of a surprise this year. And, well, I’ll be a bit surprised rooting against the Pirates this week.
I’m normally cheering on the Pirates to put up another 10-spot on Jon Lester in the first inning, so let’s hope they can just save that for the summer.
The Pirates sit in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, but have had some success early on.
Pittsburgh improved its record to 19-16 (good for two games out of first place) after a series win against the Milwaukee Brewers.
