Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: Can Jack Flaherty, Dodgers Roll Against Pirates?

We are finally getting hot again here on the diamond, and I am ready to keep things rolling here. Tonight, we are heading to the city of angels as the Los Angeles Dodgers (66-49) host the Pittsburgh Pirates (56-58) in their second clash of the season. The Bucs took the first series two games to one, so the Dodgers will be looking to even up or take the lead in the season series this weekend.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

This is a fantastic spot for the Dodgers. Pittsburgh is definitely still in the Wild Card race but they are slipping fast; they have lost four straight and blew the game last night in the ninth inning. After the loss, they hopped on a plane, flew across the country to Los Angeles, and now they take on a well-rested Dodgers team with Los Angeles native Jack Flaherty on the mound.

J-Flare is a huge LA boy, this is his debut at Dodger Stadium playing for his childhood team, and he has been throwing the ball very well this year. Mitch Keller is a fine starter on the other side of this one, but I just feel like Flaherty is going to go out there and shove tonight, plus the bullpen is well-rested.
