Will update with trends once they're released.

JT Brubaker has allowed 11 earned runs and 23 hits in his last 22.1 innings, and he's allowing a .252 batting average and .319 on base percentage on the season. On th road this season through 15.1 innings, JT Brubaker has a 1.76 ERA and .214 allowed batting average with 17 strikeouts and five walks. The Pittsburgh Pirates have nothing to play for heading into this game, but they're playing with great effort and look like a team that wants to finish the season strong. The Cleveland Indians are hot too, but they haven't listed a starting pitcher for this contest. 

Based on how Brubaker has been on the road this season, I'll take a shot by backing the Pirates on the road, especially when not knowing who is on the hill for the Pirates.
