The Pirates are coming into this game with a 13-13 record this season and they have not been playing in many high scoring games recently, but they are coming off of a 7-5 loss in their last game which saw 12 runs total in it and their offense has been starting to wake up again. They are going up against a Giants team that is 12-14 this season and has been playing in some higher scoring games recently. They are coming off of an 8-2 loss in their last game which saw 10 runs total and they have seen at least 10 runs total in 3 of their last 6 games, seeing at least 8 runs total in 5 of those as well as seeing at least 6 runs total in all of those games. Their offense has also been much better recently as they have scored at least 5 runs in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. Their offense is going to continue to have success in this game as well as the Pirates have Quinn Priester starting here and he is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA this season. He has only made 1 start this season but he allowed 5 runs in a little over 4 innings in that start. This is only his 2nd start of the season but he is also a very inexperienced pitcher in the MLB as this is only his 2nd season, and even in his rookie season last year he was not great as he made 8 starts total as well as 10 appearances and finished the season with a 7.74 ERA as he allowed a lot of runs in his few starts. The Giants are going to score runs in this game, but they are also going to give up runs with Kyle Harrison starting as he is 2-1 with a 5.00 ERA this season. He has not been awful in his 5 starts this season but he has consistently allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his 5 starts, and he has allowed 3+ earned runs in each of his last 4 starts. He is also in his 2nd MLB season and was not great last year either, making 7 starts and finishing the season with a 4.15 ERA. These starters are going to continue to struggle in this game and both of these offenses have been starting to play better in recent games, they will both score runs in this game. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
