The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds resume their series on Saturday, with both teams trying to avoid finishing last in the NL Central division. The Pirates (72-82) suffered their fourth loss in five games after dropping their series opener on Friday. Pittsburgh continues to have unproductive stints at the plate, scoring 2.4 runs per game on a .246 batting average. To compound their dilemma, the Pirates have given up 5.49 ERA over the last five games. The Reds (75-80) have split their last 10 games to keep them at No.4 in the NL Central standings. With 8 games left on their schedule, there’s still a small window of opportunity for Cincinnati to finish this season with a winning record but they better win the majority of their remaining games. To pull it off, the Reds would have to improve their disappointing 7.77 ERA they have posted in their last five games.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Jared Jones has led the Pirates to four wins in his last five starts with a 4.44 ERA. In his recent mound appearance against the Kansas City Royals, Jones pitched 4.0 innings and gave up two earned runs with five strikeouts, resulting in a 4-3 win by the Pirates. Pittsburgh, who are 5-2 in their last 7 games against Cincinnati, might get more opportunities to put a score on the board as they are facing right-handed pitcher Rhett Lowder, who allowed three earned runs in 5.1 innings in a 9-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins last September 15. Our betting prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds: Bet on the Pirates to win, +105, at BetMGM.
