Mitch Keller is expected to take the mound for the Pirates, and his recent form makes him a key player to watch. The Nationals will need to find a way to generate offense against Keller, who has been effective this season.

Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates Moneyline (-135)

widget-odds-mlb-su-10361-WSH-PIT

The Pirates are favored in this matchup, and for good reason. Mitch Keller has been reliable on the mound, and the Pirates' offense is coming off a strong performance. The Nationals have struggled to contain Pittsburgh's bats, and unless their pitching improves significantly, the Pirates are in a good position to secure another win. Backing the Pirates on the moneyline at -135 offers solid value.

Top Player Prop Picks

Mitch Keller Over 6.5 Strikeouts

Keller has been a strikeout machine this season, and facing a Nationals lineup that has struggled offensively, he is well-positioned to hit the over on this line. His ability to mix pitches effectively should keep Washington's hitters off balance.

Paul Skenes Over 5.5 Hits Allowed

While Skenes had a strong outing in the previous game, the Nationals will likely make adjustments and aim to put more balls in play. This could lead to Skenes allowing more hits in this matchup.

Ke'Bryan Hayes Over 1.5 Total Bases

Hayes has been a consistent contributor for the Pirates, and his ability to hit for extra bases makes this prop appealing. With the Nationals' pitching struggling, Hayes has a good chance to exceed this line.
