Pittsburgh will look to bounce back from a wasted pitching performance by its starter and two relievers on Friday night as the Giants won 3-0 on a walk-off three-run homer by Patrick Bailey off David Bednar in the ninth. Martin Perez will be on the mound for the Pirates tonight with a 1-1 record and a 3.45 ERA this season. Perez has made two career starts against San Francisco and he is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA and a 0.60 WHIP. Giant hitters are a combined 15-for-63 with two homers against Perez. Jordan Hicks has a 1.61 ERA for the Giants, but they have lost his past two starts due to low run support. Perez's team record is 20-5 against opponents with losing records when he starts and his teams have won 20 of his past 30 road games. The Pirates have gone UNDER six of seven games and they are 5-1 UNDER against right-handed starters. San Francisco is 8-1 UNDER its past nine versus NL Central opponents. Take the Pirates as a Max Play and the UNDER.
