Pittsburgh Pirates
Despite the matchup against Max Scherzer, oddsmakers aren’t totally counting Pittsburgh out on Saturday listing them as just +107 road underdogs.
The Pirates did take the series opener 6-3 on Friday, bouncing back from being shut out in 2 of 3 games vs. the Cubs. The Bucs are 2-3 on the road this year – the same record Washington has at Nationals Park.

Chris Archer is scheduled to start for Pittsburgh as he protests his suspension for a roll in “not liking being shown up” by the Rds. Even though he’s had a solid 1-0, 2.49 ERA start to the season, it’s hard to bank on Archer as he makes his first road start of the year.
Washington Nationals
The Nationals definitely seem to be going through a Bryce Harper hangover as they sit in 4th in the NL East. Washington had won two in a row, finding their offense with 25 runs scored in the last two games at Philadelphia before falling to the Bucs 3-6 on Friday.

Of course Washigton is in a prime bounce back spot Friday with Max Scherzer on the hill. The former Cy Young winner has fared well at home in two starts this season, allowing 3ER in 12.2 IP but with 21K’s.
