Pittsburgh Pirates (67-71) and San Francisco Giants (57-81) will start their three-game series on Tuesday night at PNC Park. The Pirates will be seeking to continue with their winning run after defeating the Cardinals twice to take the series 2-1. In their last assignment, they won 5-4 in a rubber match against the Cardinals, putting them in a strong position in the NL wild-card race. They’re the -160 betting favorites tonight.
The Giants, on the other side of the grass, are riding on a two-game winning run ahead of this matchup. They followed up their 7-2 win against the Diamondbacks with a surprising 3-7 win over the Braves on the road. This was a makeup match for the June 18 rainout, with the result meaning that the Giants have officially swept the series in 2018. However, playing on the road remains a challenge for them, going 24-45 this season. They’re the +120 underdogs tonight.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
We expect the Pirates to maximize their home advantage to win. They’ll be keen to forget their August struggles, which have seen them sit six games outside the wild-card spot. The Pirates can pull off a miracle run in September to slash this deficit, starting with a win against the Giants. They’ll start Paul Skenes, who comes into this game with a 9-11 record and 3.79 ERA. The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings in his last assignment, cementing his spot as one of the most reliable hands on the team. San Francisco will counter his influence with Logan Webb, who has an 8-8 record and a 3.72 ERA. Webb has delivered quality starts this year and can put up five or six solid innings. Based on that, we expect a close game with the Giants covering the +1.5 line.
Our prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Francisco Giants: Pittsburgh Pirates to win.
