The Dodgers are hitting the road for a seven-game trip, starting off on the right foot by winning three out of four games against the Chicago Cubs. This puts them back above .500 and tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the top spot in the highly competitive National League West Division.
The main issue for the Dodgers this season has been their pitching, specifically their bullpen, which enters this game with a 5.05 ERA, a far cry from their usual dominance. However, they have been able to make up for it with an offense that averages 5.39 runs per game, the fifth-best in the MLB.
Noah Syndergaard will be leading the Dodgers’ pitching efforts in this game, hoping to turn things around after losing his last three starts despite allowing only five runs in his last 12.0 innings pitched.
Starting Pitcher: Noah Syndergaard (0-3, 4.91 ERA)
Betting on the Pittsburgh Pirates
- Regular Season Record: 16-7
- Moneyline: +110
- Run Line: +1.5, -150
- Over/Under: 8
All odds are provided by DraftKings.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been the biggest surprise of this season, leading a tough National League Central Division with an impressive seven-game winning streak. Their pitching has been outstanding during this stretch, allowing three runs or fewer in each game.
This run has placed the Pirates among the top teams in the league in pitching, with an average of 3.76 runs allowed per game and a collective ERA of 3.63. Their offense has also been a force to be reckoned with, boasting a .250 AVG. and averaging 4.86 runs per game.
One of the standout performers in the Pirates’ starting rotation has been the 25-year-old Cuban, Johan Oviedo. He has allowed only two runs in his last three starts (19.2 innings pitched) and has a WHIP of 0.92.
Starting Pitcher: Johan Oviedo (2-1, 2.22 ERA)
JefeBet Prediction
While the Dodgers may look superior on paper, the current form favors the Pirates, who are on fire and will surely be able to create problems for Syndergaard. He has shown promise, but has not been solid enough to produce positive results.
In addition, the Pirates have Oviedo on the mound, who has been dominant even against teams with similar potential as the Dodgers. Despite their good numbers, the Dodgers have not been able to find their ideal rhythm.
The Pirates have also been better in terms of bullpen performance, so we expect them to have another good showing in this Dodgers vs Prates game and at least cover the Run Line.
Prediction: Pittsburgh Pirates Run Line (LAD 4-6 PIT)
