Pittsburgh Pirates: 45-50, 4.5 games out of wild card

Much like the previous two teams mentioned, Pittsburgh has struggled since the All-Star break with a 1-5 record. One thing is for sure, if the Pirates look to be buyers, they won’t want to make the same mistake as last season. They acquired struggling starting pitcher Chris Archer from the Rays for two players who can be foundational pieces for Tampa Bay in outfielder Austin Meadows and starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow.
