Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Pirates prepare to face the Nationals, all eyes will be on Jorbit Vivas, but the recent trends suggest he might struggle to find his rhythm at the plate. Coming into this matchup, Vivas has been mired in a slump, showcasing a batting average hovering around .200 over the last two weeks. With a volatile swing and a tendency to chase pitches outside the zone, he could find himself overmatched against the Nationals’ ace, who boasts a solid WHIP and a strikeout rate that has kept hitters in check.
Moreover, the Pirates’ offense has been lackluster, scoring less than four runs per game in their recent series. With Vivas likely facing tough left-handed specialists, the under on 1.5 hits feels like the smart play. Given the stats and the pressure of the moment, it seems fitting that Vivas may come up just short this time around.
