Why Bet The Pirates-Padres Series
The odds are good the Pirates will win at least one game in this series. Pittsburgh is 8-2 in the last ten meetings.
But Pittsburgh is showing signs of stuggling following a decent start to the season. They had only won four games out of their last ten heading into this series. San Diego had won seven.
Monday night is especially up for consideration if looking to bet the Pirates. Pittsburgh will have a proven starter Monday night in left-hander Tyler Anderson (2-2, 3.38 ERA) while the Padres will go with right-hander Miguel Diaz. He hasn't pitched in the major leagues since before the 2019 All-Star break and hasn't started a game since 2017.

Overall this season, Anderson has allowed 10 runs on 25 hits and eight walks with 26 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings over five starts. But in his past three starts, Anderson has a 2.20 ERA over 16 1/3 innings.
The OVER is 14-6 in the last 21 games. The Monday night game looks like it has OVER written all over it with the total coming in at 8.
The OVER 8 will be our play Monday night.
