The New York Yankees continue their road trip today when they head to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates in the first game of a 3-game series. New York has gone 12-5 since August 28, but it’s too little, too late for a team that’s 7.5 games back in the AL wild-card race. Tonight, they’ll have their ace, and AL Cy Young favorite Gerrit Cole on the mound. Cole leads the AL with his 2.79 ERA across 30 starts, and he has tossed 4 consecutive quality outings. Cole has been especially good on the road this season, boasting a 2.51 ERA across 13 starts, but tonight will be his first game back at PNC Park since he was traded from the Pirates in 2017.
Pitching for the Pirates will be right-hander Johan Oviedo, who owns a 4.34 ERA across 29 starts this season. Oviedo tossed a complete-game shutout against the Kansas City Royals on August 28 but has struggled in his subsequent starts. Through 2 outings in September, Oviedo has given up 6 earned runs on 13 hits and 7 walks in just 7.1 innings of work. I’m not so sure Oviedo will bounce back tonight, as his strikeout rate and walk rate both rank in the 26th percentile. The Yankees clearly have the pitching advantage with Cole on the mound, but I’m not confident enough in the Yankees’ offense to play them on the run line. Instead, I’m going to back the under given the Yankees and Pirates rank 22nd and 26th in OPS during September.
Under 7.5 (-105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

The New York Yankees will play against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 3-game series. The Yankees have been performing well lately but are unlikely to make it to the playoffs. They will have their star pitcher Gerrit Cole on the mound, who has been in excellent form. The Pirates’ pitcher, Johan Oviedo, has struggled in recent games. Although the Yankees have the advantage in terms of pitching, their offense is questionable. The prediction is for the game to have a low score, and the under bet is recommended.
