As the Pirates aim for a sweep against the Dodgers, value emerges in backing them for the first half of the game. Bailey Falter, taking the mound for Pittsburgh, has delivered exceptional performances in his recent starts, pitching a total of 13 2/3 scoreless innings and allowing just five hits. Although he hasn't started against the Dodgers before, his limited exposure has resulted in a .222 batting average against him over 18 at-bats by the current Dodgers roster. On the flip side, Walker Buehler of the Dodgers has struggled this season, especially on the road where his ERA spikes to 6.00. His past encounters with the current Pirates lineup have been unfavorable, with them hitting an impressive .360 against him. Given Buehler's form and the statistical backing, there's significant value in betting on the Pirates for the first five innings, especially considering the Dodgers' stronger bullpen might influence the game's later stages.
Good Luck!
