• Batter RBIs: Over 0.5 RBIs at +165

Player Analysis

Bryan Reynolds has had a stellar season so far, boasting a batting average of .303 and leading the Pirates with 74 RBIs, which ranks him among the top players in the league. His ability to drive in runs has been crucial for the Pirates, especially in tight games. Reynolds has consistently performed well against both left and right-handed pitchers, making him a reliable option in the lineup. His recent form shows that he has been hitting well, which is crucial for this matchup against the Diamondbacks, whose pitching staff has shown vulnerability at times.

Opposing Analysis

The Diamondbacks will send Mitch Keller to the mound, who has had a solid season with a 3.30 ERA and 10 wins. However, Keller has been known to struggle against left-handed hitters, which could play to Reynolds’ advantage. Given Reynolds' ability to hit for power and average, he has a strong chance of getting an RBI against Keller, who has given up 13 home runs this season. The Pirates’ offense will need to capitalize on Keller’s weaknesses if they hope to secure a win.

Pitching Probables

Player	W-L	ERA	Strikeouts
Mitch Keller (ARI)	10-5	3.30	114

Team Previews

The Arizona Diamondbacks have a balanced offense that has struggled at times this year, currently ranking 24th in runs scored (459) and 25th in batting average (.233). However, their pitching has been a strong point, ranking 9th with a 3.82 ERA. The team has shown resilience, especially in close games, and their recent form suggests a potential playoff push.

On the other hand, the Pittsburgh Pirates have the 2nd most runs scored in the league (567) and a robust batting average of .258. Their pitching, though, has been inconsistent, ranking 25th in ERA at 4.51. If their hitters can support Montgomery, they have a real shot at winning against the Diamondbacks.
