In game two, Keller will start for Pitt. He’s been a reliable pitcher for the team this year, giving up two runs or less in eight of his starts.

 

Despite winning both of his prior starts, the pitcher allowed a total of 17 hits and 10 earned runs. Will he be more alert at home on Tuesday?

Oakland Athletics vs Pittsburgh Pirates. The MLB pick for this game is the Pittsburgh Pirates. Although Keller’s previous two starts were not his greatest, there is no better team to play to get back on track.

 

Oakland is striking out in 29.8% of its at-bats versus right-handed pitchers. The A’s have the two worst records in MLB with a 10-20 run line record on the road and a 22-38 run line record as underdogs.

 

When the Yankees selected Kaprielian in the top 20 of the 2016 MLB Draft, it was clear he would not be the ace they had in mind.

 

A Pirates offense that is off to a solid start in June (.296/.343/.449/.792) and is fired up after a mediocre month of May will present a challenge for him.

 

They’ll score more than enough runs at home to triumph and cover the -1.5 run line on Tuesday! The Pittsburgh Pirates will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
