Pittsburgh Pirates

MLB16 predictions

Our Pittsburgh Pirates predictions cover every game, each with the moneyline, the run line, the total and our call.

Every game

The Pittsburgh Pirates play in MLB, in the NL Central. Every Pittsburgh Pirates game gets a prediction on its own page, posted before first pitch and listed above: the next game first, finished games further down.

How we predict their games

Baseball is priced on the moneyline, so our number is a chance of winning. It comes from each team’s runs scored and allowed over the season, set against each other and moved by how often home teams win. We compare it with the price at a named sportsbook, with the book’s margin taken out; a gap of five points or more is a bet, and anything less is no bet.

The odds

Each prediction shows the moneyline, the run line and the total, read from a named US sportsbook on the day it was written, with our number beside them and the starting pitchers named.
