Arizona is hitting .307 with runners in scoring position since June 4.
Williams allowed at least four runs in 5 of his last 6 starts
The home team is 7-0 in the last seven games Cory Blaser has been plate umpire versus Pittsburgh. The Pirates are 8-2 in their last 10 games with Blaser as plate umpire.
Umpire: Cory Blaser (6-7) - 8.85 RPG
W 11 mph - 11 clock
Williams is off a good start but has been bad in last 4. I expect more runs here and maybe Zona sweeps as well.
