Pirates vs. Padres MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. Yu Darvish goes tonight for the Padres after tossing six scoreless innings against the Blue Jays last Wednesday to earn back-to-back wins for the first time since early June. He’s 4-2 with a 2.63 ERA in nine career starts against the Pirates. Pittsburgh will respond with young right-hander Quinn Priester, who was destroyed in his major league debut last week versus the Guardians. He allowed seven runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings, but tonight he’ll face a Padres offense that, despite all their star talent, has been crap this season.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: PIRATES/PADRES UNDER 8.5
