Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates. The MLB pick for this game is the Pittsburgh Pirates. Three of the Pirates’ last four games ended in victories.

During that time, they displayed strong offensive play, collecting 29 runs in four games.

They hit the ball well against right-handers and had a lot of achievement against Weaver, who is typically utilized out of the bullpen and gave up 8 runs in his last 13 innings against the Pirates, so anticipate them to perform well offensively in this game.

The Reds will find it difficult to contain Pittsburgh’s hot bats since Cincinnati’s bullpen was inconsistent this year. The Reds dropped three of their previous five contests and five of their previous six away contests.

Only 11 runs were scored in their last three matches due to recent offensive struggles. Until now, Contreras performed well on the mound with the exception of his start against Houston, allowing 10 runs in three outings.

In three starts versus the Reds, he is 1-0 and only allowed four runs. Pittsburgh won’t have any problems containing Cincinnati’s offense because their bullpen is also doing well.

Pick Pittsburgh to cover the spread on the wager. The Pittsburgh Pirates will win to a predicted score of 4-1.
