The Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Oracle Park. On Friday night it was the Giants that were able to secure the 5-3 victory. 

The Pirates come into this game with a 45-68 record overall and they have lost two games in a row. It’s been a long season for the Pirates and most of the key pieces they had were traded away at the deadline. The Pirates offense has been a big issue all season and they are averaging 3.62 runs per game. Michael Chavis has hit 12 home runs and driven in 37 RBIs. 

The Giants sit with a 55-57 record overall and after such a fast start to the season they have been nothing but a big disappointment the last few months. After such a strong start to the season, the Giants have had some major issues, and it’s been quite the fall-off. The pitching for the Giants hasn’t been good enough and they are giving up 4.43 runs per game. Wilmer Flores has hit 16 home runs and driven in 57 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Pirates is Tyler Beede who sits with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 3.57. In his last start against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he went 3.2 innings giving up two hits and zero runs. 

On the mound for the Giants is Logan Webb who sits with a 10-5 record and an ERA of 3.17. In his last start against the A’s, he went seven innings giving up four hits and two runs. 

The Giants are 1-5 in their last six games during game 2 of a series. The over is 4-0 in Webb’s last four Saturday starts. The over is 5-1 in Webb’s last six starts on grass. The Pirates are 1-6 in their last seven games against a team with a losing record. 

Runs are going to be very hard to come by in this game. Beede gave up zero runs in his last start and Webb currently sits with an ERA of 3.17. This Pirates offense has also struggled all season, and this game is going to be lower scoring. It wouldn’t shock me if this game ended 1-0 or 2-1. Back the under. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
