The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds open their three-game series at Great American Ball Park on Friday.

The Pirates have won three of their last four games to raise their record to 5-8. Pittsburgh won the rubber match with the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday behind impeccable pitching from Mitch Keller, who shut out the Cards for 7.1 innings, and the game-winning RBI single from Joey Bart in the 13th inning of a 2-1 win.

The Reds could not complete a series sweep of the San Francisco Giants after conceding a 6-8 loss in the series finale also on Thursday. After blanking the Giants in the first two games, Cincinnati gave up two homers in this game with starter Nick Martinez surrendering four runs in 5.2 innings. Despite a shaky night on the mound, the Reds still had a chance to steal a win in the extra inning but Giants slugger Mike Yastrzemski shut it down with a two-run blast in the 10th.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

Friday’s starters, Bailey Falter of the Pirates and Brady Singer of the Reds are not the type of pitchers who can dominate and dictate the outcome of the game with their pitching. Both starters are coming off subpar outings on the mound, which leads me to conclude that we will have a high-scoring ball game in the series opener. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Pittsburgh's last 6 games. Moreover, the Pirates and Reds averaged a combined 9.50 runs per game over their last 10 meetings. Our betting prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds: Total Over 8.0 Runs
