Pittsburgh Pirates Betting Preview
The Pittsburgh Pirates spent a lot of time in first place in the NL Central last season. But they fell apart in the second half of the year, finishing below .500 and missing out on the postseason. But there were some positives to be taken from that campaign, which the Pirates will aim to build on this season in their attempt to get back the postseason. Here, we break down the year to come for the Pirates and our pick for them in the season win total market for 2024.

Pittsburgh Pirates Picks, Predictions & Betting News
Offseason Transactions
Key Additions: Marco Gonzalez, Aroldis Chapman, Rowdy Tellez, Martin Perez
Key Departures: Vince Velasquez, Jarlin Garcia, Miguel Andujar, Angel Pedromo
The Pirates made a couple of interesting acquisitions in the offseason. If Aroldis Chapman has anything left in the tank, adding him could make the back end of the Pittsburgh bullpen very good very quickly. And adding Rowdy Tellez could not just help the Pirates lineup, but it could also hurt the lineup of the Brewers, which would work in the Pirates’ favor in two ways.
Offensive Outlook
Offensively, the Pirates were horrible last season, as they were one of just three National League teams to fail to score 700 runs during the regular season. This year, the Pirates don’t figure to be dramatically better offensively, but the addition of Tellez could help them to get better if his power numbers are decent.
Pitching Outlook
The Pirates finished last season in the bottom-five in the National League in runs allowed. They swung and missed in terms of adding help for their starting rotation, which really hurts given how much the Cardinals added to their rotation in the offseason. As a result, Pittsburgh will need its existing group to step up and make things better on that front during the 2024 season.
Positives & Negatives
As far as positives go, the Pirates have some young talent whose development will be interesting to monitor this year. Ke’Bryan Hayes is only 27 and still has some upside after a promising 2023 season, for example. But the lack of high-end pitching for the Pirates is a huge negative that could undo any of the positives that this team has going for it.
Pittsburgh Pirates Season Win Total Pick & Prediction: Under 75.5
In the season win total market, the Pirates should stay under their total of 75.5 wins. Pittsburgh really struggled in the second half of last season and those struggles should carry over into this year. Without pitching that they can rely on consistently and a batting order that will have to rely way too heavily on Tellez for power, the Pirates should finish at or near the bottom of the NL Central once again.
