Giants vs Pirates Prediction, Betting Analysis
The Pirates opened their three-game set with the Giants with a 5-4 victory on Monday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa walked Pittsburgh off with a fielder's choice, capping a comeback from 4-1 down for the Pirates.
Actually, despite sitting in last place in the NL Central division (19.5 games back from first place and 15 games under .500), the Pirates are 7-3 in their last 10 outings. They've won two games in a row and now send Mike Burrows to the hill on Tuesday to face San Francisco's Logan Webb.
Meanwhile, the Giants are in third place in the NL West, but they've lost eight of their last 10 games and are now under .500.
The expectation is for the pitchers to shine and the offense to be limited in Game 2 of this series on Tuesday.
According to the PRO system "Wind Blowing In," the total should remain under 7.5 runs.
This system tells you to bet the under when the wind is blowing inward at a speed of five mph or more.
When the wind blows into the field from the outfield, it often serves as a natural deterrent to home runs and deep fly balls, effectively diminishing the scoring potential of the game.
By systematically leveraging this insight, bettors can consistently find value in under bets in games where the wind conditions meet this criterion.
Also, this system has a 4.5% return on investment for +$11,021 since the inception of it in 2005, creating nice value on this play.
