Dodgers at Pirates 6/7/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions
PNC Park will play host to a Thursday afternoon MLB clash between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates. Last night, the Dodgers had their four-game winning streak snapped during an 11-9 loss against the Pirates. Matt Kemp connected on his 10th home run and drove in five runs for Los Angeles, who is a game below .500 overall.
Talented right-hander Jameson Taillon (3-4 3.97 ERA) will get the nod for the Pirates on Thursday. Last time out, Taillon allowed just three hits across eight shutout innings during a 4-0 victory at St. Louis.
