The Pirates seven game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday night, but they were still able to score seven runs in the loss. Los Angeles is starting to play better, but only has a 13-11 record so far this season. The Dodgers are expected to start Tony Gonsolin, who is coming off of the IL for his first start. The Pirates are starting Roansy Contreras, who has allowed three earned runs over his last 12.2 innings pitched. I like the Pirates at home here.
