The Philadelphia Phillies (62-36) are looking to avoid being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates (50-48) today. After blowing a lead on Friday, they never led in Saturday’s game as their bats were ice cold. The Pirates were able to get to Christopher Sanchez enough to mount a lead that became insurmountable for the Phillies. Philly were only able to get 4 hits, one of which was a Bryce Harper blast that was too little too late. O’Neil Cruz continued to be a thorn in the Phillies sides as he went 2-4 with a homer and 3 RBIs. He is now 5-9 with 3 doubles, a home run, and 6 RBIs. If the Pirates are going to complete the sweep, he will likely be at the front of their offense. Marco Gonzalez (1-0, 2.45) of the Pirates will be tasked with shutting down the Phillies offense. He is coming off a 1 run game over the Chicago White Sox where he picked up his 1st win after 4 starts. He will be countered by the Phillies’ Tyler Phillips. He is coming off his 2nd big league start where he allowed 4 runs on 6 hits to the Athletics. Despite the mediocre pitching, he did pick up the win.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Phillies have not looked like themselves since the all-star break. The Pirates have been jumping on their starting pitching and grinding out at-bats all series. We think this continues today as Tyler Phillips is going to have a hard time against this hot Pirate lineup. The Phillies are going to need 4-5 runs in this one and we just don’t see that happening against Gonzalez
Our prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs Philadelphia Phillies: Pittsburgh to win, +120 at Draftkings.
