The Pittsburgh Pirates (56-60 SU, 63-53 ATS) conclude their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers (68-49 SU, 57-60 ATS) with their playoff hopes now on life support. The Pirates needed a lot to go their way down the stretch, which started with playing well over the final two months.
That hasn’t happened. The Pirates ran into the red-hot Padres before going out west, then promptly lost a pair to the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Even Paul Skenes wasn’t enough to get Pittsburgh over the hump, as the Pirates now sit five games back of the final playoff spot with the return series with San Diego up next. It’s only because of other teams’ failures that Pittsburgh still has any kind of chance at making the postseason.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Bailey Falter hasn’t lived up to his last name, but nor has he been outstanding for Pittsburgh. On a good day, Falter will get through four to five innings and leave the game without doing much damage. But Pittsburgh doesn’t have the kind of bullpen that’s needed with a pitcher like that. The Pirates are 2-7 in Falter’s past nine starts, mainly because he rarely gives them more than five innings.
Tyler Glasnow hasn’t exactly been outstanding either, but he usually counts on good run support from his offense. He is coming off a strong outing against the Phillies, where he became the only Dodger pitcher to actually beat Philadelphia. He also pitched six strong innings against the Pirates when he saw them in Pittsburgh, taking the loss only because the Dodgers got nothing on the board that day. This time, Los Angeles should be able to get Glasnow over the line. Our prediction for Pittsburgh vs. Los Angeles is Dodgers -1.5.
Prediction:
Dodgers -1.5
