The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Athletics meet Monday in MLB action from Sutter Health Park. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Athletics prediction.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will send out Jared Jones for the start here and Jones is 1-0 with a 4.73 ERA and 14 strikeouts this season. JT Ginn will start for the Athletics in this one and is 4-3 with a 3.15 ERA and 65 strikeouts this season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates come into this game looking to bounce back from a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Miami Marlins last time out to sit at 36-36 this season. After this series, the Pirates will head on the road for a series against the Colorado Rockies.
Oneil Cruz has 66 hits including 10 doubles, 14 home runs and 44 RBIs while Ryan O’Hearn has 57 hits with 6 doubles, 10 home runs and 35 RBIs this season. Nick Gonzales has 74 hits with 11 doubles and 31 RBIs while Brandon Lowe has 61 hits with 16 doubles, 17 home runs and 46 RBIs and Bryan Reynolds has 69 hits with 16 doubles, 2 triples, 8 home runs and 42 RBIs as well this season.
The Athletics come into this game looking to bounce back from a 23-9 loss at the hands of Colorado last time out to sit at 35-36 this season. After this series, the Athletics will take on the Angels in a division series at home.
Shea Langeliers has 75 hits with 15 doubles, 18 home runs and 36 RBIs while Tyler Soderstrom’s added 60 hits with 19 doubles, 2 triples, 12 home runs and 39 RBIs. Brent Rooker has 36 hits with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs. Jacob Wilson also has 48 hits with 8 doubles, 3 home runs and 21 RBIs and Nick Kurtz has 72 hits with 13 doubles, 16 home runs and 52 RBIs this season.
I’m on the Athletics in this one. I just think that JT Ginn’s numbers at Sutter Health have actually been serviceable this season and I’m still not sold on what Jared Jones is bringing to the table for the Pirates as of yet. I think the A’s bounce back from that porous finale against Colorado on Sunday and get the win here.
