The Pirates offense has improved with the return of Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco, but it's still been god awful against lefties. Also, the bullpen has been a disaster as of late, and it just had to cover 5.1 innings last night after Trevor Williams left the game early with an injury. I love the Padres at this price.
Oddsmakers are giving a great price on the Pirates here. My model simulations say that this game is basically a pick 'em, but Pittsburgh backers are getting plus money. Pirates starter Jordan Lyles has been a pleasant surprise, with a 2-0 record and a 2.25 ERA in three road starts this season. As a former Padre, he should know how to attack San Diego's lineup. Take the Bucs.
