Los Angeles at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been competitive in their first two games of this series vs. the scorching hot Dodgers. They have managed to do something that no team has done in over a month against LA, and that is plate five runs or more in two consecutive games. That bodes well for them tonight at home, especially with the leading run producer in Cody Bellinger for the Dodgers is now on the DL. Trevor Williams has had good support at home, especially as a dog, where his five starts have seen the Pirates score an average of 5.8 runs per contest, and right now the Pirates' bats have swung better than any team against the Dodgers in over a month. Play on Pittsburgh.
