Free Betting Pick: Cincinnati Reds -109
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been a mess as of recent as they have dropped 6 of their last 10 games, and they have had little success at home as they are 26-36. While Anthony DeSclafani has had little success against the Pirates this season, but Mitch Keller has had a very shaky rookie season and the Reds have the bats to cause a problem. Eugenio Suarez has developed into one of the better hitters in the NL as he has contributed 34 HRs and 78 RBIs, and he should continue his big season against a bad Pirates pitching staff. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Reds win 6-5.
