The Pittsburgh Pirates will duke it out with the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of their series on Saturday at PNC Park.
The Pirates grinded out a 5-4 win over the Phillies in the series opener on Saturday behind a prolific night from Adam Frazier, who recorded three hits and scored the game-winning run on a sacrifice fly from Nick Gonzalez in the 9th inning. Pittsburgh was trailing 2-4 entering the fifth inning, but catcher Henry Davis belted a two-run homer in the 5th inning to even the score at 2-2, paving the way for Frazier’s game-winning run.
The Phillies suffered their fourth loss in five games, allowing the New York Mets to build on a 2.5-game lead over them in the NL East standings. Averaging 4.8 runs per game in the season, Philadelphia’s offense has gone silent over the past five games, during which they averaged 3.2 runs per contest on a .202 BA.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Why you should bet on the Phillies to cover -1.5 Runs (Win $100 on a $105 bet): Ranger Suarez parades a 1-4 record with a 1.10 ERA over his last five starts. Although he had a mediocre stint in his last start vs. the Brewers, allowing 1 runs and 7 hits over 6 innings, I am confident that Suarez will make a big difference against the Pirates, who are among the worst offensive teams in the MLB. Moreover, this is also the spot for the Phillies' offense to take off since they are facing a struggling Andrew Heaney, who has gone 1-4 with a 3.71 ERA in his last 5 starts. Philadelphia is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games against Pittsburgh, winning by at least two runs three times.
Our betting prediction for the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: the Phillies -1.5 runs
