| Pirates | Keone Kela to be closer | |

| BHQ take: USA Today previously predicted a 60-102 record for PIT, so how many save opportunities will he get? We've upped our percentage of saves with news, but keep in mind he's been injured in three of the past four seasons, and while that 2.12 ERA from 2019 looks real nice, he had a 4.14 xERA. Should Kela open 2020 with a flourish, look for PIT to move him. —Rick Green | |
