Pittsburgh Pirates vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Carlos Zabala | in MLB Picks

The Pirates and Dodgers face off in the 5th game of the season with each other tied at two games apiece. The Pirates have seen their playoff hopes slowly fade away in the 5-game skid leading into Saturday's game at Dodger Stadium. The Pirates have also lost 7 of their last 8, 4 of them games decided by a single run that was often driven by unforgivable defensive errors.

For the Dodgers, even though he is a DH, Ohtani leads the team with 68 extra-base hits and has a good case to be the MVP again. Hernandez is 13-for-40 with 4 doubles, 4 HRs and 7 RBIs in the last 10 games.

For the Pirates, the main offensive threats are Reynolds who has 22 doubles, 3 triples and 19 HRs for the Pirates. And Cruz, despite his glaring defensive errors at SS, has contributed to the game by recently going 14-for-40 with 3 doubles, 2 HRs and 7 RBIs in the last 10 games.

The Pirates are 19-22 on the road and underdogs this season. The Dodgers are 35-21 when favored to win at Dodger Stadium.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

The pitching matchup is an interesting one between likely Pirates Rookie of the Year Sknenes against Dodgers right-hander Ryan, who has a 1.72 ERA this season in just 15.2 IP. Skenes pitching has not been a guarantee for the Pirates, as they have lost three of his last five starts, often due to poor relief after Skenes leaves the game with the Pirates ahead. Betting sites even see the Dodgers and Ryan as favorites to win on Saturday. Our prediction for Pirates vs Dodgers is: Dodgers ML, -115 at FanDuel.
