The Athletics host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the rubber match of a three-game set on Wednesday night.

Pirates vs. A's Best MLB Prop Bets

A’s Best MLB Prop Bet

Zack Gelof OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-118)

Zack Gelof is batting .372 (29 for 78) during his 20-game hitting streak. He has four home runs and six doubles in that span with 13 runs scored and 11 RBI.

Gelof has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in 10 straight games and 18 of his last 19 during this streak. He’s up to a 62% hit rate this season, including 70% at home.

Pirates vs. A's Prediction and Pick

Both of the first two games this series went OVER the total, which has been a trend for Pittsburgh (43-29 to the OVER) this season.

While it’s a solid pitching matchup, these teams are still playing in Sacramento. Ashcraft is susceptible to a bad start here or there, and Civale is struggling right now.

Pick: OVER 10 (-114)
