The Pittsburgh Pirates will resume their series with the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Tuesday, looking to end their three-game skid.
The Pirates enter Tuesday’s rematch with the Rays desperate to stop the bleeding after going 1-4 through their first five games. Pittsburgh is batting .184 with 14 runs this season. When it comes to pitching, they own the 12th-best ERA (3.22) in baseball but massively disappoint in other metrics such as WHIP and BAA, where they rank 21st (1.35) and 20th (.250), respectively.
The Rays have won three of their last four games to improve their record to 3-1. Tampa Bay owns the fourth-best batting average in baseball this season at .286. However, it is on the mound where they deal the most damage. The Rays throw 2.33 ERA with 0.93 WHIP and .220 BAA in four games.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Tampa Bay, 9-1 in their last 10 head-to-head with the Pirates, will send Shane Baz to the bump on Tuesday. Baz (3-2 with a 2.37 ERA in his last five starts) will be facing off against the Pirates for the first time in his career. In their previous three matchups, Tampa Bay has scored 4.00 runs per game while hounding Pittsburgh to 2.00 runs per contest. In addition, Tampa Bay are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games when playing at home against Pittsburgh. This shows the Rays’ dominance over the Pirates in the past years, which only validates their odds at -160 money line. Our betting prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Rays will win.
