The Los Angeles Dodgers have won six in a row and will look to add to that number when facing the Pittsburgh Pirates in game one of a three-game set. The Dodgers will try to keep the momentum going by sending Julio Urias to the mind. This season he is 2-1 with a 1.88 ERA. The Pirates will counter with Dillon Peters. He is 3-0 this season with a 0.00 ERA.

Los Angeles is clicking at the plate, as they are putting up 5.08 runs a game and are hitting .237 as a team. Not only is thier offense one of the tops in the league so is thier pitching. They are giving up 2.36 runs a game and their opponents are hitting just 189 against them. They have a team ERA of 2.11 ERA and a WHIP of 9.93, both of which lead the league.

Pittsburgh is putting up 3.81 runs a game and is hitting .238 as a team. Their pitching has been woeful this season. They are giving up 5.38 runs a game and their opponents are hitting .243 against them. They have an ERA of 4.72 which ranks 28th, and a 1.38 WHIP which ranks 27th.

Los Angeles is 10-0 in its last 10 games against Pittsburgh. The Pirates have lost five of their last six games at PNC Park. The Pirates are struggling at the plate, having scored 15 runs in their last five home games, and now must face the best pitching staff in the league. The Dodgers have won six straight and have given up just seven runs over that stretch. Peters has pitched well but has not fone ver 3.1 innings in five appearances. Pittsburgh has one of the worst bullpens in the league so even if Peters keeps them off the board for a short time, sooner or later they will get to the pen.

Play on the LA Dodgers minus 1.5 runs. This is a 10* play.
