Tampa Bay Rays vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
Both are gaining some momentum, and the Pittsburgh Pirates and Tampa Bay Rays lock horns on Friday to set off a three-game series at PNC Park. The Pirates have won four of their last six games, including Thursday’s 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Pittsburgh has bumped up their record to 36-38 after racking up 10 out of 17 games this June. This month, the Pirates produced 17 runs on a .241 batting average and 3.72 ERA. The Rays have also played better baseball this past week, securing three wins in their last four assignments. At 36-39, Tampa Bay remains fourth in a brutally competitive AL East division, yet they have enough time to move up in the standings if they can sustain their decent run this June, during which they have gone 8-9. The Rays are batting .236 with 70 runs this month while allowing a 5.04 ERA.
Pitchers Matchup: Ryan Pipiot (4-4, 4.57 ERA with 72 strikeouts) will take on a still-unknown starter from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
