Pittsburgh Pirates (68-71) and San Francisco Giants (57-82) will play Game 2 of their three-game series on Wednesday night at PNC Park. The Pirates won the series opener 13-12 on Tuesday evening, with Brandon Lower enjoying a four-hit run, including his 29th hit of the season. Oneil Cruz also registered four hits while driving in four runs. This win improves their chances of entering the NL wild-card race. They’re the -160 betting favorites tonight.
San Francisco Giants, meanwhile, have been highly inconsistent this season, especially on the road, where they have a 24-46 record. They looked sharp on Tuesday night with Turner Hill registering four hits. Drew Cavanaugh and Christian Koss finished the game with three and two hits, respectively. But despite showing a resilient performance, the Giants made a throwing error in the ninth, allowing the Pirates to win. The Giants are the +120 betting underdogs tonight.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The series opener looked tight, so we’re not going to make a straight moneyline pick. Instead, we’ll lay the price on the total runs to go over 7.5 because both sides are giving up runs lately. Both teams also look sharp on offense, which should be a concern for the starting pitchers. The Pirates will start Jared Jones, who will be seeking to improve his 2-6 record and 4.83 ERA this season. While he’s capable of pitching solid five innings, his recent performances have been concerning. The visitors will counter his influence with Landen Rupp, who is 8-13 this season with a 4.25 ERA. Rupp can also post some solid numbers, so we don’t expect another 13-12 score line tonight. Still, the over 7.5 line looks achievable.
Our prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Francisco Giants: Over 7.5 runs to hit.
