Betting Odds

Spread: Giants -1.5 (+135) | Pirates +1.5 (-155)

Total: Over/Under 8.5 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that San Francisco will win straight-up is 55%.

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants recently concluded a series with New York (NL) over the weekend, where they struggled with a 3-7 record in their last ten games. They will have right-hander Justin Verlander starting against Pittsburgh, coming off a solid performance in his last outing. The Giants had a strong first half but have since lost momentum, falling behind in the NL West and Wild Card races. The team's first baseman Wilmer Flores is questionable for Monday's game due to a hamstring injury. Can the Giants recover in time to make a comeback in the race?

Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates recently finished a series with Colorado, coming off a 7-3 record in their last ten games. With an opening in their rotation for tomorrow's game, the team has not yet named a probable starter, leaving the possibility of a bullpen game. The Pirates' bullpen has a 4.02 ERA and 1.24 WHIP this season. Paul Skenes has been a standout player for the team in the 2025 season. While the team has talented players like O'Neil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, and Ke'Bryan Hayes, they are looking to finish the season strongly. No new injuries have been reported for Monday's game against San Francisco.
