Picks for 4/5/26
MLB
1:35 PM EST
Rotation # 922
Pirates -130 over Orioles (win)
Ashcraft/Bassitt
The Pirates had a nice pinch-hit walk-off win last night and get a chance to make hard contact today against 37-year-old Chris Bassitt, who doesn’t have the same stuff he once had in his prime. Pirates starter Braxton Ashcraft has a big arm and will look to get a few more punch-outs than he did in the opener. The new look Baltimore bullpen is unproven and has been a bit shaky to start the year. Ryan O’Hearn is hitting the ball well, and the Buccos are on a roll, winners of four straight, looking for a series sweep. Take the Pirates.
