Pirates vs. Padres Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Tuesday, Aug. 25

The Pittsburgh Pirates outlasted the San Diego Padres in extra innings last night to take the first game of their three-game set.

It was a much-needed win for the Buccos, who had just been swept by the Dodgers. Meanwhile, the Padres had swept the Twins at home in their weekend series.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Pirates vs. Padres on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

Pirates vs. Padres Best MLB Prop Bets

Padres Best MLB Prop Bet

Michael King OVER 17.5 Outs (-127)

Michael King has consistently pitched deep into games this season for the Padres. He’s recorded OVER 17.5 outs in 17 of 26 starts, including three straight, five of six, and seven of his last nine outings.

I don’t see this Pirates offense changing that.

Pirates vs. Padres Prediction and Pick

I know it’s Skenes on the mound, but I’m surprised that the Padres aren’t bigger favorites tonight.

King is a better pitcher than the reigning NL Cy Young winner right now, and the Padres are 40-27 at home while the Pirates are 30-37 on the road.

Pick: Padres -119
