Free Betting Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates -125
The Pittsburgh Pirates have once again made themselves relevant in a deep NL Central, and a huge reason for that can be accredited to the hot hitting Josh Bell. Josh Bell should be able to continue his success in his home ballpark against a struggling Senzatela as he is posting a 4.89 ERA. The Pittsburgh Pirates have played well under Jordan Lyles this season as they have won 4 consecutive games when he is on the mound, and I expect them to continue their success in this one. Final score Prediction, Pittsburgh Pirates win 6-2.
