It's hard to imagine that the Pirates can continue at this level of play. I think we get good value here on Cole Hamels who has a 1.56 ERA in three career starts at PNC. He goes up against the rookie Gerrit Cole who is a highly touted prospect, but still young enough to make some mistakes. The Phillies have scored some runs lately and are #3 in OPS in the last 7 days so I think they can win a low scoring battler here today on the 4th. Hamels is on 7 days rest actually and should be fully motivated to win on the 4th against a Pirates team that is 21st in OPS vs. LHP.
