Free Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction:
he Dodgers are getting some pieces back, making them a more dangerous team than we’ve seen in the first couple months of the season. Los Angeles has the ability to pile up crooked numbers in a hurry and they’ve had success against Anderson during his tenure with the Rockies.
The Dodgers take this one rather convincingly on the road.
