Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Sunday, July 28, 2024 – 04:10 PM ET at Chase Field


Our AI Model believes we’ll get 9.4 runs in today’s Pirates-Diamondbacks matchup. However, Bet365 is only carrying an 8.5 total for this game. Therefore, the AI Model predicts the over is the play.

Lefties Light Up Keller

Mitch Keller will pitch for the Pirates. He’s a righty who has allowed a .375 ISO and a wOBA of .474 to his last 42 lefties.

Keller has struck out only 16.7% of lefties in that time while allowing 54.5% of hard contact to lefties. He’ll likely face more lefties than righties in the Arizona lineup. The five lefties have hit a .245 ISO and wOBA of .350 against righties over the last month.

Arizona certainly has potential against Keller today.

No Stardom For Yilber, Yet

Yilber Diaz is one of the highest-ranked prospects in the Arizona system. But since he was called to the majors, the success hasn’t translated. Diaz has allowed a .220 ISO and wOBA of .358 to his first 64 batters. Those 64 batters have hit just 34% of ground balls and have struck out only 10.9%. That’s nothing to rave about.

Meanwhile, the Pirates have struck out only 15.9% of the time against righties over the last 30 days using the projected lineup. The team also has five batters who have hit an ISO of at least .175 against righties.

The Pirates should also have some success offensively tonight.

The Pick

We’ll back the Over 8.5 in this one.
