The Pirates (58-97) have had a terrible season so far. Their chances of qualification are over, as they sit last in the division. Winning a few games for their fans is something they can look to achieve now. Their series win against the Reds has lifted their spirits.

Meanwhile, Cincinnati ranks fourth in the division, a spot above Pittsburgh, who will now look to win the series 3-0. The Reds (60-95) are also in a terrible situation. They found themselves in a decent position, but a 3-7 run in the last ten games hasn't helped as they look to avoid a clean sweep against the Pirates.

As both teams have nothing to lose now, they have only pride to play for as they try to win it for their fans. A few wins before the end of the season will be good for their confidence going into next season.

Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Pick

Bryse Wilson (3-9) will take the hill for the home team, while Luis Cessa (4-4) will do so for the away team. Both pitchers have had below average seasons, and there's hardly anything that differentiates them. However, Cessa enjoys a slightly better 4.78 ERA for the season than Wilson (5.95).

These are high ERAs, so a high scoring contest could ensue. Cessa also has a better W-L ratio (5-5).

Pick: Total Hits Over 16.5 (-120)


Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Prediction

Game 3 should be a highly exciting game, as both teams have nothing to lose. Expect a lot of fireworks.
