The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds will try to settle the score on Wednesday in Game 3 of their series at PNC Park.
The Pirates ended their four-game win drought with a 1-0 win over the Reds on Tuesday. Bailey Falter pitched through seven scoreless innings with 5 strikeouts while Bryan Reynolds drove the game-winning run in the 6th inning. Pittsburgh captured only their 16th win of the season, and they are still last in the NL Central with a 16-33 record.
The Reds’ five-game may have come to an end but that recent win streak has elevated the record to .500 with a 25-25 record, third in the NL Central. Cincinnati continues to wreak havoc on the mound this season, pitching a 3.49 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. The Reds haven’t surrendered more than 1 run in each of their last 4 matches.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Reds takes series with another rout over the Pirates
Why we should bet on the Reds to cover -1.5 runs: I honestly think Tuesday night’s loss to the Pirates was a fluke. Therefore, I am expecting a stronger and meaner fightback from Cincinnati in the series finale on Tuesday. The Reds are averaging 4.1 runs per game on a .280 BA and pitching a gaudy 1.64 ERA over their last 5 assignments. Pirates starter Andrew Heaney, who lost his last 4 starts, will need to step up his game if he doesn’t want to get obliterated by the Reds, who boasts the 9th highest total run in the MLB at 227.
Our betting prediction for Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Reds -1.5 Runs
