The Pittsburgh Pirates face a tough batle for a National League Wild Card Spot
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are playing their best baseball of the season, putting them in contention for a National League wild card spot.
They travel to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend, who are one game back of the wild card themselves. They will then take on the Houston Astros, who are on top of the American League West Division at 53-49 overall. The San Diego Padres have won five straight games, taking two out of three against AL Central leaders in the Cleveland Guardians and then sweeping the Washington Nationals mid-week, capped off with Dylan Cease pitching a no-hitter.
They will take on the Diamondbacks again and Padres at home, then they'll head back out west to face the NL West leading Los Angeles Dodgers and the Padres again. They return home to face Seattle Mariners, then travel to the reigning World Series Champions in the Texas Rangers.
