Pittsburgh Pirates vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction: This match can go either way

On Saturday, Major League Baseball action shifts to PNC Park, where the Arizona Diamondbacks will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. There will be three total games, and this is the second one. The opening game was a rout for the Pirates.

This week, the Pirates and the Tigers each faced each other twice, and the results were a split. On Friday, when the Pirates played Arizona, they had 17 hits and scored seven runs in the fourth inning. Overall, they had 17 hits. Johan Oviedo pitched well, allowing just one earned run on six hits and three walks over six innings. The Pirates have a record of 17-38 over the last 55 games they've played in game two of a series, and their record on Saturdays over the last 18 games is 5-13. In the last six games that Pittsburgh has played in game two of a series, they have an over/under record of 5-1.

This week, Arizona faced off against the Oakland Athletics and ended up winning two of the three games in the series. In their game against the Pirates on Friday, the Diamondbacks managed only four hits as a team, which contributed to their 13-3 loss. The game was over after 3.2 innings, with starter Zac Gallen having allowed five earned runs, eight hits, and four walks. The over is 6-2 in the Diamondbacks' previous eight Saturday games, and the team has a record of 5-2 in their last seven games against the NL Central division. The total has gone over in five of Arizona's last six games in the second game of a series.

We are going to put the Pirates back in this one because we think they have what it takes to win three games in a row. However, given that the Diamondbacks are also anticipated to perform at a high level, we also have the option of betting on the over.
