Phillies vs Pirates Picks and Prediction – 6/7/2025

Scenic PNC Park will play host to a Saturday afternoon MLB clash between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Phillies (37-26) are looking to snap a three-game losing streak and are two games back of NL East Division leading New York. Last night, Philadelphia Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with two runs scored during a 5-4 road loss against Pittsburgh. 

Twenty-nine year old southpaw Ranger Suarez (4-0 2.72 ERA) will head to the hill for the Phillies in this contest. In his last start, Suarez (6 IP) gave up seven hits and two runs during a 5-2 home loss versus Milwaukee. 

The Pittsburgh Pirates are three games below .500 at home and are trying to climb out of the NL Central Division cellar. On Friday, Pittsburgh walked it off in the ninth inning on a Nick Gonzales sacrifice fly ball that scored Adam Frazier. Bryan Reynolds and Henry Davis each went deep for the Pirates, who improved to 24-40 on the year. 

Rookie Pittsburgh manager Don Kelly will give the ball to left-hander Andrew Heaney (3-4 3.39 ERA) on Saturday. Last time out, Heaney (5.2 IP) allowed five hits and two runs during a 6-4 road loss against San Diego. 

Philadelphia SP Aaron Nola (ankle) will be shutdown from throwing due to right side stiffness and his timetable to return is unclear. Through 63 games, Philadelphia ranks 8th in OPS and 7th in runs scored. For the season, Pittsburgh ranks 28th in OPS and 29th in runs scored. Take the under. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Phillies win 5-2.
