Get our free MLB Picks all season long! The Pirates, now 11-16, are coming off an impressive 3-0 shutout win over the Dodgers on Friday, snapping a tough losing stretch.

Falter was sharp in his last outing and will look to build on that momentum against a deep Dodgers lineup. Pittsburgh’s offense hasn’t been explosive, but they’ve shown the ability to manufacture runs when needed. A quick start could help take pressure off Falter and the bullpen.

Los Angeles, sitting at 16-10, will turn to Glasnow to get back on track after being blanked at home. Glasnow has been dominant when healthy, using his fastball-slider combination to overwhelm hitters. The Dodgers will look for their big bats like Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman to set the tone early.

The key to the matchup will be whether Pittsburgh can scratch across runs against Glasnow while keeping the game close into the later innings. Los Angeles will try to jump on Falter early and avoid another sluggish night at the plate.

With Glasnow’s overpowering stuff and the Dodgers’ lineup due for a breakout, Los Angeles should control this one from start to finish. Pittsburgh will battle, but Los Angeles’ firepower at home will be too much to overcome. Take the Los Angeles Dodgers to bounce back from their recent loss against the Pirates this past Friday. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Dodgers win 5-2.
