The -155 favored San Francisco Giants look to overcome their road woes as they open a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight.

San Francisco went 31-15 at AT&T Park in the first half, matching Boston for most home wins in the majors and ranking second in the NL behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in home winning percentage at .674.

The Giants weren’t nearly as impressive on the road, where they’re 18-24 coming out of the break.

The Pirates, who are 22-17 at home this season, swept a three-game series against the Giants at PNC Park last year en route to a 4-2 record against them.

Barry Zito will take the mound for the Giants hoping to work out the kinks that contributed to his up-and-down first half.

Zito is 0-2 with a 4.09 ERA in two career starts against Pittsburgh, which will counter with lefthander Paul Maholm.
