The San Diego Padres hope to sustain their hot run as they go for their fourth consecutive win when they take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the middle game of their three-game series on Wednesday at PNC Park. The Padres (62-52) continue to apply more pressure on the Los Angeles Dodgers (66-48) as they have moved within four games of catching up with the current NL West leaders. San Diego have been torching their competition over their last 10 games, batting .294 with 6.7 runs per game and maintaining a rock solid 3.30 ERA. Meanwhile, the Pirates have lost four of their last five games, which prevented them from dislodging the St. Louis Cardinals for the No.2 spot in NL Central Division. The Pirates are batting .251 with 4.3 runs per game in the recent five-game swing. Pittsburgh’s pitching staff have also performed below their season averages of 3.83 ERA during this stretch, allowing 5.11 ERA.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Padres blanked the Pirates 6-0 behind tremendous pitching from Bryan Hoeing and their bullpen, who have allowed under 3.0 runs per game in their last five assignments. San Diego covered the spread in their last three wins over the Pirates and I am confident they can do it again with a red-hot Michael King scheduled to start on Thursday. King led the Padres to three wins in July, posting a 1.82 ERA with 29 strikeouts. Our betting prediction for San Diego Padres vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Bet on Padres to cover -1.5 run spread, +100, at BetMGM.
