Rays vs Pirates Free Pick June 28, 2017

The Rays won 4-2 at Pittsburgh last night, but they are still below .500 on the road this season. They face the Pirates ace tonight, and I like Pittsburgh to bounce back with a win in Game 2.

Ivan Nova will toe the slab for the Bucs, and he’s been fantastic since arriving in Steel Town. He’s 5-2 with a 2.53 ERA in seven starts at home this season, and he was 7-3 with a 3.00 ERA in 14 starts at PNC Park last season.

The Rays hand the ball to southpaw Blake Snell, who is coming off the DL to make his first start since mid May. The 24 year old was torched for 10 runs on 16 hits and four walks over 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts. He’s 0-4 with a 4.71 ERA in eight starts overall this season.

The Rays have lost seven of Snell’s last nine starts, and eight of his last 10 road starts. The Pirates have won four of Nova’s last five home starts.

Take PIT.
