San Francisco Giants vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Quick read:

If you picture a baseball game as a dinner party where everyone’s appetite is on a diet, that’s exactly what the Giants‑Pirates clash looks like, so the under 8.5 is the only sensible course.

Both clubs have been churning out runs at a glacial pace – the Giants have managed just 579 runs while surrendering 650, and the Pirates sit at 682 for and 655 against – numbers that scream a slugfest is unlikely.

The only thing that could flip the script is a sudden flash of power from either lineup, but at these prices that’s about as likely as a rainstorm in the desert.
