I will be riding with the Giants (-1.5) in this game against the Pirates. Pittsburgh has been horrible on the road this season and I have a ton of faith in the Giant’s starting pitcher. They will have Carlos Rodon on the mound, as he is (10-6) with a 2.95 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. The Pirates are only scoring the 28th least amount of runs per game and they have the second lowest team batting average. They will struggle at the plate in this game and the Giants will slowly pull away. The Giants are also seeing the ball well at the plate. They are scoring the 10th most runs per game, as they have shown that they aren’t one-dimensional at the plate. They are also averaging the 10th most home runs, as they are hitting 1.19 per game. The Pirates won’t be able to keep up with them on the scoreboard, as the Giants have been good at home. The Pittsburgh Pirates have also struggled in the field, as I see them recording multiple errors that come back to hurt them in this game. They are allowing the 26th most runs per game and they have already recorded 77 errors, which is the most in the MLB. The Giants are the better team in this series, and they will show that in this one. Take the San Francisco Giants and lay the run line spread (-1.5).
