Pittsburgh at San Francisco

The Pittsburgh Pirates have some promising young pitchers, but they are lacking offense in a way that makes it difficult for them to win. They have generated just 358 total runs on the season, the worst in MLB. They also have allowed just 413 runs, one of the best marks in baseball. The Giants will send Justin Verlander to the mound. Verlander's struggles this season are well documented, but his last outing was his best of the season, allowing zero runs over five innings. Facing the Pirates may be just what he needs, as their offense is abysmal. Bailey Falter also pitched his best game the last time out. He held the Detroit Tigers to just one run over seven innings. The Pirates are 16-5 in July, and are UNDER in their last 21 games. They are also 10-1 to the UNDER when facing a bullpen that has a combined ERA of 3.45 or better. Make the play UNDER the total.
