Taylor Trammell is just in his second week back from injury, after missing five weeks of action from April 20th on. Thus far the Pirates and Astros have been a prop haven with runs galore through the first two games of their series. Where we have seen the Astros take advantage of the Pirates bullpen. Look for Trammell to get in the mix even hitting in the seventh spot. Take his total bases/combination line over.

The Pirates are the third-best hitting team in baseball at .256, and they've gone over the total in their last eight games. They've scored nine or more runs in their last four games, the last two at Houston. Both teams have gone over the total 35 times this season, which is 58.3% of their games. Jared Jones made his first start for the Pirates since 2024 on Friday and allowed five runs in 4.1 innings. Pirates 3B Nick Gonzalez is sixth in baseball hitting .314, but over the last five games, he’s hitting .476 with 10 hits. Over is the play.
