Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates have struggled offensively recently, averaging 4.04 runs per game and scoring fewer than three runs in eight of their last 10 games. Despite being second in walk percentage, their batting average, OBP, and slugging percentage rankings are mediocre. The team has shown some promising signs with rookie pitcher Jared Jones, who has impressive statistics but has allowed a significant number of home runs. The bullpen has been below average, contributing to a loss in a recent game. The Pirates have an opportunity to improve their performance in the upcoming game with Jones on the mound. They currently have a power ranking of 21, rank 18th in offense, 16th in defense, and have a record of 14-14 this season.
