This post is for the Friday, July 6th, game in Pittsburgh. Last series before the All-Star break. Scores update on Monday.

Today's Pitchers:

LHP Barry Zito (6-6, 3.84 ERA) vs. LHP Erik Bedard (4-9, 4.57)

The Game Rules:

[ A ] Please put your prediction in the title line which should begin in the format: Pirates xx Opponent xx

e.g. Pirates 5 Giants 3

Putting the Pirates score first, then the opponents score makes tallying points much easier.

[ B ] Please make the full prediction, instead of a "+1" to someone else whose prediction you agree with

[ C ] Don’t worry about minor spelling mistakes, like "Piartes". We can handle those.

PERFECT GUESS 5 POINTS NAILING ONE TEAM SCORE 2 POINTS

Update:

SteelChamps!! correctly guessed the Pirates score yesterday.

Thanks for playing and Go Bucs!
