The Pirates will begin a new series against the Giants on Monday after their difficult series against the Rockies in Colorado, which they lost 2 games to 1, winning 9-5 on the final day, Sunday. The Pirates fell 8-5 in Saturday's game, but Friday's game was particularly unusual, as they started leading 9-0 and ended up losing 16-17. However, the good news is that the Pirates' home runs appeared, even if it was at Colorado's altitude. Oneil Cruz hit a grand slam in Game 1, McCutchen hit his 11th home run of the season while going 3-for-5 with 5 RBIs in Game 2, and in Sunday's loss, Nick Gonzales went 5-for-4.

The Pirates lost the Colorado series, but are still on a good pace after the All-Star break, having won seven of their last 10 games.

While that was happening, the Giants simultaneously got even with the Mets, beating them 12-4 on Sunday to win a tough series in Queens. Devers made a huge impact on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a home run.

Our San Francisco Giants vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

Justin Verlander will start Game 1 of the Giants-Pirates series at PNC Park. He pitched against the Pirates on July 29, in his previous outing, but in San Francisco, and did quite well. Before that, against the Braves, he finally earned his first W of the season. The former Cy Young Award winner once again has an excellent opportunity to win against the MLB's weakest-hitting team, the Pirates; they'll want to make amends for the Pirates' painful and improbable sweep of the Giants at Oracle Park. Our prediction for Pirates vs Giants is: Giants -1.5.

Prediction:

 

Giants -1.5
