Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Key Stats: Pirates’ Paul Skenes has commanded a 3.97 ERA this season. Angels’ Walbert Urena has posted a 2.85 ERA this season.
The combined score in each of the last four meetings between the Angels and the Pirates has not exceeded 7 runs.
What to Expect: This is going to be another defensive battle. Skenes and Urena have been shaky in their recent outings on the mound, but both are very much capable of delivering a shutout on any given day.
The Angels are an unattractive pick at +163 on the moneyline with Urena starting, but the smarter, less risky move is to go UNDER 7.5 runs.
Fearless Forecast: The Angels 3, the Pirates 1
Our betting prediction for the LA Angels vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates: Under 7.5 Runs
