Cleveland comes in fresh off a 4 game sweep of Tampa Bay Rays and the Pirates come home following a sweep in the Motor City. <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63744&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Both teams used excellent pitching combined with timely hitting to grab the sweeps and will now look to carry that momentum through the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n The Indians held a team meeting Monday after being swept away in Baltimore and scoring 0 runs in two games on Sunday. Manager Terry Francona stressed the importance of getting everything together now. The Indians took that message in stride as they got 4 extremely ridiculous pitching performances, combined with the awakening of their offense. Wednesday was also nearly historical as Carlos Carrasco was one strike away from a no hitter.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n With the starters feeding off one another, it’s Trevor Bauer’s turn to step up.<\/p>\n Bauer has been top notch on the road this season and has dominated the National League.<\/p>\n Bauer is 2-0 vs the NL and has a solid single to his name as he ripped a line drive to center field in his start at Chicago.<\/p>\n Bauer received no run support as he started one of their shutout games on Sunday in Baltimore last time out.<\/p>\n For the Pirates, they’ll send one of their most reliable pitchers to the mound, Charlie Morton. The Pirates RH brings in a 6-1 record on the season and has been dominant at home. Morton is 4-0 with just an ERA of 1.98 inside PNC Park.<\/p>\n With the All Star break just a week away, both teams look to gather some momentum and stay in the thick of things. Cleveland was looking like they were heading into a downward spiral following their series in Baltimore. But the resurgent Tribe now sits just 4.0 games out of a Wild Card and 8 games out of first place in the AL Central.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63745&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Pittsburgh holds the 2nd best record in the National League, but has the St. Louis Cardinals standing in their way for the NL Central Division lead.<\/p>\n We get two pitchers here that are solid in their respective situations. Bauer has been amazing on the road and Morton has been just as impressive at home.<\/p>\n We should see a low scoring affair here on Friday night.<\/p>\n We’ll be providing 4* free MLB plays on the blog all season long, and check out our EXPERTS for guaranteed premium MLB Baseball\u00a0plays<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=65348&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MLB Predictions: Indians vs Pirates MLB betting action\u00a0sees the\u00a0Cleveland Indians\u00a0taking on the\u00a0Pittsburgh Pirates\u00a0at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
