Pirates Analysis: Martin Perez will be starting for them
Pittsburgh finished 2023 with a 31-28 record, exceeding expectations after starting the season with a 20-8 run. Its 76-86 record was nonetheless a 14-win improvement over 2022, even though it was not good enough to qualify for the MLB postseason. Pitching may be the first step toward defining the answer to that query. Pittsburgh will rely on youthful guns behind Keller, and they will need southpaws Martín Pérez and Marco Gonzales to make big returns to provide depth. They’ll be good as long as 3 or 4 more pitchers can get the ball to the bullpen. At Marlins Park on Friday night, Pérez pitches the hill for the visiting team.
