Unveiling the Secret Weapon Behind the Pirates’ Dominant Pitching Splits

The Diamondbacks are under .500 and look like this might be a year they step back. This is an ultra-competitive NL West and I think there is a possibility that we see three teams make the playoffs from the division, but I’d be surprised to see four. The team got off to a bit of a slow start, and there is still time to turn it around, but losses like yesterday when they blew a three run lead will certainly come back to haunt them. the other problem is that their normally reliable starting staff has looked anything but reliable. Zac Gallen, their ace for the past couple of years, is 3-6 with a 5.25 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Gallen has been brutal at home, allowing 25 earned runs in 37.1 innings, good for a 6.03 ERA. Unlike Skenes, Gallen is also in terrible form right now, having allowed 14 earned runs in his past 16.1 innings. Pirates hitters have done well enough against Gallen, getting 17 hits in 64 at-bats.
