Prediction
Walker Buehler had a bad start and gave up four runs and the Dodgers were able to tie the game to 5 but lost in extras 6-5. They'll now send Julio Urias who has been very good this season but the luck hasn't been on his side. The Pirates are allowing over 5 runs per game has been bad as a starter.
