Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Stephen Abiola | in MLB Picks

Cincinnati Reds (34-37) will be on the road on Monday night to play Pittsburgh Pirates (34-37) at the PNC Park in a three-game series. The Reds lost 5-4 to the Brewers in Sunday’s series finale to lose 2-1. This is the first time the Reds have lost a series after four matchups. Against the Pirates, Carson Spiers will be on the mound, marking his first career start against this opponent. Spiers has 15 strikeouts and a 2.33 ERA this season. As for the Pirates, they’ll look to build on their 2-1 series win over the Rockies last weekend. Despite the win, they conceded 18 runs, with 16 in the second game, where they only scored four. Nevertheless, this win helped them bounce back from a series loss to the Cardinals earlier in the week. The Pirates will send out Paul Skenes, who is 3-0, for a start on Monday. He has 46 strikeouts this season and an average ERA of 2.43.
