The San Diego Padres will play the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 3 of their series on Sunday at Petco Park.
The Padres went scoreless in Saturday’s 0-5 loss to the Pirates in Game 2. Dylan Cease continued to falter from the mound, allowing 3 earned runs over 4.2 innings. San Diego, who average 4.7 runs per game over their last 5 assignments, went just 2-for-26 behind the plate in a disappointing performance by their sluggers.
The Pirates captured their third win in four games behind a stellar outing from Bailey Falter. Falter blanked the Padres through 6.1 innings while Bryan Reynolds drove two runs to spearhead the Pirates offense, who upped their average runs over their last 5 games to 5.2 runs.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Diego Padres Prediction
Why you should bet on the UNDER 8.5 Runs: the Padres and Pirates combined for 4.66 runs per game in their last 3 meetings. The total has gone UNDER in 13 of Pittsburgh's last 20 games and 10 of San Diego's last 15 games. Sunday’s starting pitchers, Andrew Heaney of the Pirates (4.74 ERA) and Randy Vasquez of the Padres (2.89 ERA), have had stellar numbers pitching against each other's teams, and they could play a significant role in keeping the total UNDER 8.5 runs, especially if they find their pitching rhythm.
