The Astros take on the Pirates in Game 2 of a weekend rendezvous in the Steel City behind the steady serves of Andy Pettite.

Despite slipping a bit in his last three starts, Pettite remains in strong KW form. He also owns a lifetime 5-1 team start mark, with a 1.70 ERA, against the Bucs. With Pittsburgh just 4-14 home against southpaws this season, we'll back the better team with the talented lefty tonight.

Play on: Houston Astros.

I have no opinion on the side but love the under. Both pitchers have been real solid recently and runs will be at a premium.
