Pirates vs Dodgers

Big Blue looking to keep the Bucs buried out West

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pirates (11-16) VS Dodgers (16-10)

Apr 27, 2025 | 7:10 PM ET | Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles

Los Angeles Dodgers
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers (-320): B

Los Angeles stays home some poor form as of late but did win their last game, while Pittsburgh comes in and still battling key bullpen injuries. The Dodgers turn to a young starter who has historically dominated the Pirates, while their lineup, stacked with dangerous left-handed bats, matches up well against Pittsburgh’s starter. Los Angeles’ depth in the middle of the order further widens the gap, while Pittsburgh's bullpen issues force an overreliance on a few taxed relievers. Even with a hefty price tag, the Dodgers are the smart side at -210, earning a confident B-grade recommendation based on overwhelming momentum and matchup advantages.

Feels like one of those nights where everything stacks up for the Dodgers—you pay a little extra, but it’s worth it with all the boxes checked.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8 (-110): B

Los Angeles enters Sunday riding a some good form, energized by the return of a key middle-order bat, while Pittsburgh looks to find some form and start trending back to .500. Despite the Pirates' struggles, their offense remains capable, and they face a Dodgers pitching staff dealing with injuries and innings restrictions. Both teams have averaged nearly five combined runs early in games, and a thinner marine layer at Dodger Stadium should further help balls carry. With both bullpens showing signs of wear, especially late, the Over 8 runs earns a solid B-grade recommendation based on game flow trends and lineup health.

Feels like one of those afternoons where runs come in bunches—when the arms are tired and the bats are waking up, you want to be riding the over.

Spread Pick - Pittsburgh Pirates, +1.5 (-126): B

Pittsburgh heads into Dodger Stadium looking to find the win column more often but has quietly covered in five of its last six games, while Los Angeles rides a win but deals with lingering lineup concerns. Key Dodgers bats remain questionable, thinning their depth against a Pirates pitching staff that has been sharp over the past week. The Dodgers have historically struggled against similar fastball profiles, and even their late-game threats face challenges against Pittsburgh’s rested bullpen. Backing Pittsburgh +1.5 at -140 earns a solid B-grade recommendation for its combination of value and probability in what projects as a tight, lower-scoring affair.

Feels like the perfect spot to grab the extra run—Pittsburgh’s bullpen is locked in, and the Dodgers might not have the full firepower to pull away.
