Predicted Outcome
While the Diamondbacks are slightly favored and have home‑field confidence in Nelson’s starts (~66 % win rate when ML favorite), their overall consistency is shaky. The Pirates, playing better at PNC Park, have momentum and favorable value backing them as +1.5 underdogs. Burrows generally struggles but match conditions point to a low‑scoring tight game. Expect the Pirates to keep it close and potentially pull off the upset. Final call: Pirates win or cover the run line.
