Prediction: Pittsburgh Pirates VS Arizona Diamondbacks 2025-05-26
The Pittsburgh Pirates, with their impressive 19-35 record, are set to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are barely scraping by with a 26-27 record. I mean, who needs a winning record when you can have a team that's just... existing?
All jokes aside, the Diamondbacks are actually the favorites in this matchup, with a moneyline of -180. They've got a strong record as favorites, going 18-15 in those games, and they're averaging a respectable 5.1 runs per game. The Pirates, on the other hand, have struggled to score, averaging just three runs per game.
Ryne Nelson is taking the mound for the Diamondbacks, and Andrew Heaney is starting for the Pirates. The over/under is set at 9.0, with the over priced at around 1.83.
My best bet for this game? I've got to go with the Diamondbacks on the run line. They're -1.5, and I think they've got a good chance of covering that spread. The Pirates have been struggling to score, and the Diamondbacks have been decent at home. I'm taking the Diamondbacks -1.5 at a price of around 2.15.
So, if you're looking to make some cash on this game, put your money on the Diamondbacks to win by more than one run. And if you're a Pirates fan... well, maybe just stick to watching the game with a pint of ice cream and a box of tissues.
