San Diego won 9-8 in 10 innings as the teams banged out a combined 25 hits on Wednesday night and now they follow up with a day game, which usually means a lower-scoring affair as the pitchers make some adjustments and the hitters are on a short turnaround. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in Luis Ortiz's past six starts when he pitches with five days rest and Pittsburgh is 5-0-1 UNDER when he pitches against teams that allowed at least five runs their previous game. Also, the Pirates have stayed UNDER four straight when Ortiz starts the third game of a series. Ortiz had a 1.75 ERA when he became a starter in July allowing only five runs in 25 2/3 innings. Randy Vasquez has not allowed more than two runs in four of his past five starts for the Padres. Take the UNDER.
