After a close encounter on Friday evening, the Pittsburgh Pirates will take on the Cincinnati Reds in the second game of their series at Great American Ball Park on Saturday afternoon. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET.

The two teams combined for 10 runs on Friday, which is no surprise considering the pitching matchup. Heaney and Abbott are both known for their pitching prowess, and they will be looking to shut down the opposing batters.

Heaney had a strong outing in his last start, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings and allowing only three hits. He will be aiming to continue this form and keep the Pirates in the game. Abbott, on the other hand, will be making his season debut after an impressive showing in the minor leagues. He posted a 1.08 ERA and .833 opponents’ batting average in seven starts.

Both pitching staffs have performed well this season, with the Pirates posting a 3.60 ERA and the Reds a 3.34 ERA. The pitching staffs will be key to determining the outcome of this series.

Here are the odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and best bet for Saturday’s game.

Run total: Under 8.5 runs (-118)

The pitching staffs will once again be the focus as both teams have struggled at the plate to start the season. The Pirates have the lowest batting average in the league at .217, while the Reds are not far behind at .228. Both teams are also struggling to hit for power, with the Pirates managing only five home runs and the Reds seven.

With both teams likely to keep the bats quiet again on Saturday, the under on the runs is the best bet.
