With the Pirates the road has been decent for the team, but the Pirates have had some problems in getting the wins locked down on the year. Facing a former rival in the Astros will definitely make this a hard game for the Pirates to win and being in Houston makes it even harder for the Pirates. Look for the Astros to win this game rather easily here with strong pitching and hitting combination. Final Score, Houston Astros win 8-2.
