The Pirates have continued to play good ball as they are currently 9-3 on the season and have won 3 of their last 4. The team batting average is .270 which is 5th in all of baseball and their pitchers have a combined WHIP of 1.12 which is 3rd in the league. Connor Joe has been impressive for the Pirates. He is hitting .324 while collecting 6 extra base hits and 9 RBIs. They will throw Bailey Falter who has a 5.40 ERA after going 6 innings and shutting out Baltimore in his last outing. The Phillies have been up and down and their 6-6 record shows just that. They have won 4 of their last 6 and will us Christian Sanchez as their starter in this one. Sanchez is 0-1 on the season and holds a 4.82 ERA. He allowed 3 earned in 4.1 innings against the Nationals in his last outing. Brandon Marsh has been the man for their offense to this point. Marsh is hitting .333 and has 3 home runs with 7 RBIs. As pitching staff, the Phillies have held opponents to just .233 at the plate which is 11th best in the majors.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

The Pirates are one of the hottest teams in baseball right now and while Falter got knocked around in his season debut, we like the way he bounced back against the Orioles. The Phillies are just not trustworthy right now which makes them nearly impossible to back. Sanchez being roughed up by the lowly Nats makes us take the leap and ride the Pirates here.
