The Giants had regained the lead in the NL West before the Dodgers came to town and swept them in their last series. They are the betting favorite tonight even though they have lost 2 of 3 games facing the Pirates this season. With being swept by the Dodgers recently the Giants are now 1.5 games back of L.A. in the division.

The Pirates are coming off a win and are 6-4 in their last 10 games. They sit in 3rd place in the NL Central, but are only 3 games back of the Milwaukee Brewers.

In losing 4 in a row the Giants have only batted .180 as a team and scored 5 runs. They have been really struggling at home where they have the worst mark in the Majors going 6-19 since June 9th.

Vance Worley (3-1 3.10 ERA) goes for the Pirates tonight and in his last start he gave up 1 earned run in 6 innings in a win over the L.A. Dodgers.

When Worley was with the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2011-2012 season he faced the Giants 3 times going 2-1 with an ERA of 4.09.

Madison Bumgarner (12-7 3.19 ERA) gets the starting nod for the Giants and he had a great last outing not giving up any earned runs in 8 innings in a win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Bumgarner has won 3 straight starts with 1 run allowed over his last 2 of them. He is 4-5 with a 5.22 ERA in 10 home starts on the season.

Bumgarner is 1-2 in 3 career starts against the Pirates but has a 1.71 ERA and .211 opponent’s batting average in those games with 22 strikeouts in 21 innings of work.

The Giants are 1-4 in Bumgarner’s last 5 home starts.

Betting Trends

The Pirates are 3-8 in their last 11 road games, 2-5 in their last 7 games as a road underdog, and they have an Under record of 6-2-1 in their last 9 games.

The Giants are 7-19 in their last 26 home games, 4-9 in their last 13 games as a home favorite, and they have an Under record of 4-1-1 in their last 6 games.

Jason’s Pick:

The Giants are struggling, but I think they will get the win tonight with Bumgarner on the mound.
