Pittsburgh Pirates (31-28) and Minnesota Twins (27-32) will complete their three-game weekend series at PNC Park on Sunday evening. The Pirates will be preparing to complete the series sweep, having secured back-to-back wins with powerful offensive play. Three homers from Oneil Cruz, Spencer Horwitz, and Jake Mangum gave the Pirates a close 10-9 win on Saturday. This was their sixth win in the last 10 games, with bookies to improve that record today at -160 odds.
Minnesota Twins, on the other hand, will be proud of their efforts so far after giving the Pirates a stern test in this series. The hosts appeared to be running away with a blowout win in Game 2 after scoring six runs in the second inning. However, the Twins regrouped to recover from a 7-1 deficit and tie the game 7-7 during a heated five-run fourth. They also went down 6-5 in the series opener, highlighting their potential to cause an upset in this contest.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Betting on the Pirates to win is tempting, considering they have a solid 17-15 record at home this season. They have one of the most exciting attacks, boasting a batting average of .250, which is fourth in baseball. However, recent meetings between these sides suggest we could be in for another slugfest, so we’ll skip the moneyline odds. Both starters can minimize offensive damage, with the Pirates starting Braxton Ashcraft (4-2, 2.75 ERA), whereas the Twins will start Zebby Matthews (1-2, 2.37 ERA). While these stats clearly favor the Pirates, the Twins have already shown they can exploit their opponent’s weaknesses. We expect another thriller, with the Twins winning on the +1.5 run line.
Our prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs Minnesota Twins: Total runs should go over 7.5.
