“Unlock Winning Secrets: Two MLB Best Bets That Could Elevate Your Masters 2025 ‘Moving Day’ Experience!”
The odds are the best available at the time of writing.ÂÂ
Cincy won the series opener 5-3 Friday. Pittsburgh sends LHP Andrew Heaney (0-0, 1.50 ERA) to the bump Saturday, while Reds starting LHP Andrew Abbott makes his 2025 debut. Pittsburgh has a slight edge in the starting pitching duel because Cincinnati is 1-3 vs. lefty starters and ranks 29th in wRC+ and wOBA against left-handed, according to FanGraphs.ÂÂ
More importantly, the Pirates have more hands on deck in their bullpen, using just two relief pitchers Friday. The Reds used three of their highest-power-rated relievers, per FanGraphs, including closer Emilio Pagán. Pittsburgh’s bullpen has a lower Fielding Independent Pitching (“FIP”), 4.53-4.03, which is more predictive than ERA because it removes factors out of the pitcher’s control.ÂÂ
