However, the Rockies, are not that great of a home team and are only 3 games over the five hundred mark.

Free Betting Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates -116
The Rockies are a team that has quite a bit of experience playing at home and should be able to take advantage of a Pirates pitching staff that has been suspect at times this year. However, the Pirates are facing Melville who has not thrown a lot this year for the Rockies and that will lead to him getting roughed up fairly easily with some walks that can haunt as the Pirates shake loose some losing ways on the road. Final Score, Pittsburgh Pirates win 8-5.
