| MLB | Apr 19, 2019 Giants vs. Pirates | Total 7½ -114 at PINNACLE | in 2h |
| Madison Bumgarner has allowed just 14 runs and 20 hits over 26 innings for the Giants so far. The southpaw has 23 strikeouts to just four walks. Bum has seen Pittsburgh just twice since 2016 holding them to one run in each start. The Pirates lineup is averaging 3.7 runs per contest and are hitting .220 in their last seven games. San Fran’s bullpen has some pretty good arms so they should be able to hold a late lead. Jordan Lyles has pitched well in two starts holding the Cubs and Reds to one run and six hits in 11 innings. Now, I’m not expecting him to continue to pitch like that, but the Giants lineup is pretty bad. San Fran has scored three runs or less in five of their last eight games. Pittsburgh has gone under in five of their last seven. I think this one is a lower scoring game. | ||

| Michael Pineda has been very good so far this season for Minnesota. He’s allowed just five runs and 13 hits in 15 innings of work. The righty has 15 strikeouts to just two walks over that span. Toronto is hitting around .210 as a team and doesn’t have a lineup that scares me that much at all. It’s also the getaway day so we could see some lesser lineups. Clay Buchholz is making his second start of the year. He held the Rays to one run and six hits in six innings. Minnesota’s lineup has gone under in five of eight day games and doesn’t have a ton of threats either. Both bullpens scare me so let’s hope for a lower scoring game so that way both pens are minimized. I think the under is worth a look here. | ||
