Pirates Preview

The Great American Ball Park will play host to a Tuesday night MLB clash between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Pirates (67-89) have dropped 52 of 75 road games and are languishing in the NL Central Division cellar. On Sunday, Pittsburgh SS Jared Triolo fell a triple short of the cycle and drove in three runs during an 11-0 home victory versus the Athletics.

Twenty-seven year old righty Johan Oviedo (2-0 3.52 ERA) will make his eighth start of the year for the Pirates. Last time out, Oviedo (5 IP) gave up five hits and four runs during an 8-4 home loss versus Chicago.

Reds Preview

The Cincinnati Reds are riding a five-game winning streak and have moved into a tie with New York for the final NL Wild Card spot. On Sunday, DH Gavin Lux’s third-inning RBI double was all the offense Cincinnati would need during a 1-0 home victory versus Chicago. SP Andrew Abbott was pulled after four plus innings and did not factor in the decision for the Reds (80-76), who improved to 44-34 at home.

Cincinnati skipper Terry Francona will give the nod to right-hander Brady Singer (14-10 3.86 ERA) in the series opener. In his last start, Singer (5.2 IP) allowed two runs (1 ER) and struck out six batters during a 6-2 road victory against St. Louis.
