Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Cleveland Indians vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Friday, June 18, 2021 7:05 PM
Play: Money Line: -136 Cleveland Indians
Cleveland can get good pitching - and they have not had bad hitting either, as of late. Pittsburgh will be nervous playing here - Cleveland is never an easy matchup for any team. The team's pitching staff this year has been strong, and they have been allowing the 8th fewest hits to teams in the majors the most of the season. Cleveland has been putting together a team 4.10 ERA through 6.15.2021 - Pittsburgh will be missing more than they want to. The fielders of the Pirates will struggle trying to contain guys like SS, Amed Rosario and 3B, Jose Ramirez - they have some guys who are going to eat them up. If Pittsburgh doesnt get good contact through this game - it will not be good enough to keep Cleveland on their toes. Pittsburgh needs to improve how they read pitching. Cleveland wins!
