Pittsburgh Pirates
Since the Pirates’ 11-game winning streak ended against the Indians almost two weeks ago, they haven’t won a series.
They haven’t lost one either but have instead split four with the Mets, two with Chicago and so far two with St. Louis. The rubber match in that series is Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh.

Then the Pirates travel to the Rocky Mountains to continue their playoff push against another team competing for the final wild card slot in the National League.
Pittsburgh is four games out of the last playoff spot but six back in the loss column and with three teams to jump, including the Rockies.
Colorado Rockies
Colorado trails the Dodgers by two games, who trail the Braves by a half-game for that second wild card slot, along with the Milwaukee Brewers.
St. Louis and Washington are also very much in the mix, just behind Pittsburgh and Colorado.

Kyle Freeland has been as solid in his sophomore season as he as in his successful rookie year. He did give up five runs in four innings the first, and only, time he pitched against Pittsburgh this season.
Freeland’s opponent, Joe Musgrove, is enjoying his first above-average big league season, in terms of ERA+, since his late start to 2018 in the NL.
