The Pirates have been one of those surprising teams on the season so far. The Pirates have managed to get a decent record that has them sitting 3 games over the five hundred mark and what else is impressive is the Pirates are sitting 3 games over the five hundred mark on the road.
With the Padres, the team has managed to get only 2 games over the five hundred mark on the year and has shown some signs of slipping at times. What does not really help the Padres out is the fact they are now sitting a game under the five hundred mark on the year when they are playing at home and that is going to hurt the Padres chances in this game here.
