Washington Nationals - Pittsburgh Pirates: MLB match betting tip and bets

Current form

Washington has proved once again that the 2025 season is like a roller coaster ride for them, only downhill. The 1-5 loss to Pittsburgh is not a sensation, but it is also not a reason for joy. The only glimmer of hope came from Robert Hassell, who managed to score the team's only point in the sixth inning. But this, alas, was not enough. The Pirates pitchers simply crushed Washington's attack, and their bats were silent, like a microphone in a switched-off stadium. With a 61-87 record, the Nationals are trailing at the bottom of the National League East Division.

But Pittsburgh showed that they still have powder in their flasks. The victory over Washington turned out to be confident, and in many respects thanks to the pitcher Bubba Chandler, who kept the game on lockdown for six innings, almost perfectly. Andrew McCutchen and Nick York lit up the attack, giving up a two-run single in the eighth inning that turned the game around.

And the point was made by Jared Triolo, who launched the ball over the fence in the ninth inning — a home run, like the cherry on the cake. With a record of 65-84, the Pirates are also not rushing into the playoffs, but individual players show that the team has character. The Central division of the National League is not their territory for triumph.

Interesting facts for betting

Pittsburgh has an average of 5.2 runs per game.
