The San Diego Padres begin a fresh three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday, looking to get back up on their feet after a close loss to the Miami Marlins in their series finale on Sunday. At 66-53, the Padres are locked in a two-way tie with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the No.2 spot in the NL West, trailing the current division leader Los Angeles Dodgers by 3.5 games. Before suffering a 7-6 loss to the Marlins, the Padres racked up seven consecutive victories, including a three-game sweep of the Pirates in Pittsburgh last week. The Pirates, on the other hand, have hit rock bottom after suffering seven straight losses and eight of their last 10 games. Pittsburgh was in contention for a wild-card playoff spot in the National League just two weeks ago. Still, their recent losing woes have put them in a precarious situation as their regular-season record plummeted five games below .500 at 56-61.

Our San Diego Padres vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Padres may have swept the Pirates in their previous series, but two of their three wins were decided by just one run. Regardless, I still like San Diego’s chance of taking this series opener, mainly because they have been playing elite baseball in the past two weeks. Over the last 10 games, San Diego has batted .279 with 6.6 runs per game while maintaining a solid 3.33 ERA. Padres starter Joe Musgrove has a golden opportunity to post his fourth win of the season right off the injury list since he has fared well against the Pirates in his last three starts, averaging 1.3 earned runs and 7.0 strikeouts. Our betting prediction for San Diego Padres vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Back the Padres to cover -1.5 runs, +105, at BetMGM.
