Houston Astros vs Pittsburgh Pirates Predictions 4/11/2023

The Pirates won six of their first ten matches, which is a good start for a team coming off four consecutive losing campaigns.

When it was revealed that shortstop Oneil Cruz had a fractured left ankle and would be out for 10–12 weeks, it dealt the Pirates an unwelcome blow.

In a bench-clearing altercation during a 1-0 victory against the White Sox on Sunday, Cruz was hurt sliding into home plate.

In Monday’s defeat, Ji Man Choi hit his first home run of the year while the Pirates went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.

Choi had a record of 1 for 19 going into the game, and he was 1 for 4 on Monday. Connor Joe, who has a season average of.438 and was 0 for 2 on Monday, did walk twice to reach base.

On Tuesday, Mitch Keller (1-0, 3.86 ERA) is slated to make his debut. In Keller’s two starts thus far, Pittsburgh triumphed, defeating the Reds 5-4 and the Red Sox 4-1, both on the road.

In 31 appearances, including 29 starts, Keller went 5-12 with a 3.91 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP last season. Keller only had a 1-7 record and a 3.72 ERA at home.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 5-2 SU in their last 7 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of Pittsburgh’s last 5 matches against Houston.
The total went OVER in 5 of the Pirates’ last 6 matches at home.

Houston Astros vs Pittsburgh Pirates. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. The Houston Astros, who had a poor start, seemed to wake up after being a sleeping giant.

Although Mitch Keller has pitched well so far, the Astros still have a significant advantage on the mound as well as in the bullpen and hitting order.

Even though it’s still early, I think Oneil Cruz’s injury halted the Pirates’ impressive start. Anticipate the Astros to win handily on Tuesday. The Houston Astros will win to a predicted score of 7-2.
