The Pittsburgh Pirates offer a lot of value for bold bettors who will wager on them as +129 underdogs against the San Francisco Giants in Game 2 of their series on Tuesday at PNC Park.
The Pirates registered their second straight win after rallying past the Giants 5-2 in the series opener. Pittsburgh overcame a 1-4 deficit as Jack Suwinski ignited a late comeback run with a two-run homer in the 7th inning. In the 9th inning, catcher Joey Bart leveled the score at 4-4 with an RBI single, while Isaiah Kiner-Falefa drove in the game-winning run with a fielder's choice. While the Pirates are still last in the NL West with a 49-64 record, the win improved their record to 10-3 in their last 13 games.
The Giants dropped to 4-12 after the All-Star break following Monday’s defeat to the Pirates. The loss further exposed San Francisco’s inability to win the majority of tight ballgames this season. The Giants ' offense is in good shape with an average of 5.2 runs per game. They are just playing a team with a more explosive offense, as the Pirates average 7.3 runs per game on a .263 batting average.

Our San Francisco Giants vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
This game could win you $480 from a $100 bet on a 2-pick parlay at DraftKings.
You can do it by betting on the Pirates at +129 moneyline and the total to go over 7.5 runs.
The Pirates opened as the underdogs mainly because they will face Giants’ starter Logan Webb, who tormented them with 11 strikeouts and allowed one run over 5.2 innings on July 30. However, I feel the Pirates are more prepared for Webb this time around. I am sure they have already scouted Webb for this matchup, giving them a higher probability of scoring a run against him. Furthermore, the Pirates will have a solid pitcher starting on Tuesday. Mike Burrows sports a 3.47 ERA in his last five starts and surrendered one run over 6.0 innings in the same July 30 game.
As for the total, the Pirates are averaging almost 8 runs per game in their last five assignments, while the Giants are not bad either, generating 5.2 runs per game in their last five games. The Over has also been trending on both teams in the past few weeks. The total has gone OVER in 7 of San Francisco's last 9 games on the road and 4 of Pittsburgh's last 5 games.
Our betting prediction for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the San Francisco Giants: the Pirates will win.
