The Pittsburgh Pirates will go for their third straight win with Mitch Keller taking the mound in Friday’s series opener against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
The Pirates have won 3 of their last 5 games, including the previous two games of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After being held scoreless in the first game, Pittsburgh responded with 19 runs between Games 2 and 3 and demonstrated a near-flawless pitching performance in a 10-1 win in Game 3. Paul Skenes shut down the D-Backs offense over 6.2 innings, while the bullpen yielded only one earned run.
The Miami Marlins snapped the Padres’ three-game win streak in the series finale, 8-10. San Diego could no longer outscore the Marlins in the final game of their series as the decision to start relief pitcher Jason Adam backfired, surrendering two earned runs in 0.2 innings.

Our San Diego Padres vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Why you should bet on the Pirates to win: Mitch Keller allowed one earned run in each of his last two starts. With the Pittsburgh offense experiencing a surge over the past few days (5.2 runs per game over the last 5 games), Keller should have extra motivation to pitch well, knowing he will have enough run support to secure a win at the end of his stint. He will duel against Nick Pivetta, who surrendered one earned run over six innings in back-to-back starts vs. the Mariners and the Braves. However, Pivetta faces pressure to perform well since the Braves’ starters have given up a 7.50 ERA over the last five games.
