Pirates vs. Phillies Betting Prediction
I like the under in this matchup. The Pirates’ Johan Oviedo has been solid lately, while the Phillies’ Ranger Suarez has excellent career numbers against Pittsburgh. Additionally, the two offenses were sluggish in the series opener on Tuesday night. So, let’s take the under in this National League tilt.
