The Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at PNC Park. Each of the teams has won a game so far in this series by a final score of 2-1. 

The Rockies come into this game with a 20-22 record overall and on Tuesday they were able to beat the Pirates 2-1. The Rockies have lost two of their last three games, and during that stretch of games, they have scored only three runs total. The offense for the Rockies has been strong most of the season, but now they have really started to struggle. The top offensive player has been CJ Cron and he has hit 11 home runs and driven in 32 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Pirates who sit with a 17-25 record overall and all season the offense has been an issue. In the first two games of this series, the Pirates have only scored three runs total, and that is nowhere near enough to find sustained success this season. Michael Chavis has been the top player for the Pirates hitting three home runs and driving in 15 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Pirates will be Zach Thompson who sits with a 2-4 record and an ERA of 4.88. In his last start against the St. Louis Cardinals, Thompson went five innings giving up five hits and one run. 

The Pirates are 1-5 in Thompson’s last six starts. The Rockies are 1-4 in their last five during game 3 of a series. The under is 6-1-2 in the Pirates last nine games overall. The over is 8-2 in Rockies last 10 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Thompson looked really good in his last start against the Cardinals giving up only one run. The Rockies bats come into this game and I don’t think they are going to start running up the score here. The Pirates offense has been an issue all season and over their last two games, they have scored only three runs total. Look for this game to be lower scoring, and the under is going to cash. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
