The Pittsburgh Pirates have dominated the Colorado Rockies at home as of recent as they have won 12 of their last 17 meetings.

Josh Bell has been the main provider for the Pittsburgh Pirates this season as he currently leads the MLB in RBIs with 44, and he should find success in his home ballpark against an average pitcher in German Marquez. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Pirates win 6-5.
