The Pirates will be on the road to face the Orioles for the last game of their series on Sunday afternoon.
Bryse Wilson and Spenser Watkins are the slated starters in this game.
Baltimore is a good-size favorite at home here. There has not been a lot of movement from the opening total of 9.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates were not able to get the job done on Saturday as they dropped another game to the Orioles by a score of 6-3.
JT Brubaker started the game and he went four innings while allowing three earned runs and he did record six strikeouts. In that time, the right-hander also allowed eight hits.
I do not feel he pitched terribly but he did throw a lot of pitches and that is why he did not go all that long. The Orioles did a good job of getting to him to raise his pitch count.
As far as the bullpen went, Eric Stout allowed two earned runs and Chase De Jong allowed 1 earned run. It wasn’t that the relievers got hit all over the park, but Baltimore did a good job of getting some runs off of them.
The offense really did not do a lot on Saturday as they were only able to get six hits on the day. There was really no groove for them on that side of the field against a solid pitching staff.
Oneil Cruz hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and Ke’Bryan Hayes had an RBI single in the sixth inning. At that point, the game was still very much in reach, but that was all of the scoring that Pittsburgh was able to do in that one.
This club is really hoping to not drop all three of these games to the Birds, but it is hard to love their chances on Sunday.
Bryse Wilson will be getting the start in the finale and he has not been great this season. He is a guy who has gotten hit hard often this season and he will have his work cut out for him when facing this offense.
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles were able to pick up another win on Saturday and they now have a record of 56-51 and are just one game behind the Tampa Bay Rays.
This is a team that has played so poorly for a while now, that it seems a little different for them to be five games over the .500 mark.
After the offense scored just one run in their win on Friday, they were able to score six runs in the win on Saturday and got lots of contributions on offense.
Terrin Vavra had an RBI single which started the scoring in the first inning. In the second, Jorge Mateo picked up an RBI single and Brett Phillips got an RBI double.
Also, Ryan McKenna drove in two runs with a double in the fifth inning and Cedric Mullins got a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to end the scoring for Baltimore.
Starter Austin Voth was sharp as he went fiving innings while allowing three earned runs on six strikeouts. He might not be a very well-known guy in the league, but he has been solid for this group in 2022.
In these games, the O’s have been able to get strong pitching and enough offense which they will look to continue on Sunday in order to earn the sweep of this Pirates squad.
Spenser Watkins will be getting the start in the finale and he has not missed a ton of bats this season, but he has still been able to be effective this year. He is coming off a strong outing against the Rangers where he went six innings and allowed just one earned run.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Baltimore Orioles MLB Prediction:
The Pirates have not shown me all that much in the first couple of games of this series and I am not high on them in this one.
Baltimore is just the better team and they know how important each and every game they play is. I do not see them slowing down in the finale of this series.
Watkins might not be a household name, but I trust him a lot more than Wilson in this spot and I feel he will help his team earn the win on Sunday.
Give me the Orioles on the Moneyline at home.
