Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St Louis Cardinals MLB Pick Prediction 5/19/2021 by Tony T. Pirates at Cardinals—MLB pick is Pittsburgh Pirates and St Louis Cardinals to play under the total of seven runs. Pirates send Trevor Cahill to the hill on Wednesday. Past two starts the righthander has allowed three earned runs in 15 2/3rd innings of work. Jack Flaherty counters for the Cardinals. He has been sharp giving up no runs in his past two starts tossing 13 innings. He has pitched well against the Pirates in his career allowing one earned run or fewer in five of his past seven starts. As they opened this series the Cardinals had struggled to score runs. Past ten games they are hitting only .211 against righthanders. Pirates are last in the Majors in runs and home runs. Both bullpens have performed well. Play Pittsburgh and St Louis under seven.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction 5/12/2021 by Tony T. Reds at Pirates—MLB free pick is Cincinnati Reds on the run line -1.5 runs at +108 odds. On the hill for Cincinnati will be Sonny Gray. The righthander has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his past four starts. Gray has pitched well against the Pirates in his career. Trevor Cahill counters for Pittsburgh. He was crushed by the Reds last month for seven earned runs in four innings. On the season Cahill is 1-4 with an ERA of 6.75 and WHIP of 1.57. Pirates 29th in scoring and last in homers. Pittsburgh has lost eight of ten struggling to score. Play Cincinnati on the run line -1.5 runs at +108.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Pick Prediction 5/7/2021 by Tony T. Pirates at Cubs—MLB pick is Chicago Cubs -136 odds. On the mound for Chicago will be Zach Davies. The righthander has allowed two earned runs or fewer in two of his past three starts. Cubs showing offensive improvement as they come off a three game sweep of the LA Dodgers. Trevor Cahill takes the hill for Pittsburgh. The righthander in his past three starts has allowed thirteen runs twelve earned in 11 1/3rd innings of work. Pirates have lost six of their past seven games. They hit only .210 against righthanders and sit last in the league in home runs along with 27th in scoring. Play Chicago -136.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Pick Prediction 4/24/2021 by Tony T. Pirates at Twins—Free pick is Minnesota Twins on the run line -1.5 runs at -105 odds. On the hill for Pittsburgh will be Trevor Cahill. The veteran in three starts has surrendered fifteen runs with fourteen earned over 13 innings of work. Michael Pineda counters for the Twins. In three starts the righthander has allowed two earned runs in 18 innings pitched. Twins fourth in the league in hitting and eighth in runs. There is no power in the Pirates lineup. Cahill getting hurt by the home run and has seen a significant dip in his velocity. Play Twins on the run line -1.5 runs at -105 odds.

The 4th place (Because the Cubs are in last) are currently 7-9 and even though they're very much not a good team they have at least been interesting and semi-fun to watch this season. We go in depth to tell you once again why Trevor Cahill is on this team and is in no fear of being DFA'd at this time, what the Pirates options are with Colin Moran and if an extension is a real possibility, and just how bad has Chad Kuhl been this year.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers Pick Prediction 4/17/2021 by Tony T. Pirates at Brewers—MLB free pick is Pittsburgh Pirates +133 odds. On the hill for Pittsburgh will be Trevor Cahill. The righthander held the Padres to one earned run with three hits and eight strikeouts in five innings pitched. Brett Anderson throws for the Brewers. Lefty has surrendered five earned runs and three homers in ten innings. Last year the Pirates put up four runs in five innings on Anderson. Brewers batting only .202 as a team and their bullpen has struggled. Anderson's velocity has been on a steady decline the past two years. Play Pittsburgh +133.

The Indians have a big void to fill at SS now that Francisco Lindor is a Met. It seems they will call on Andres Gimenez - a standout defender in his own right. There are plenty of innings up for grabs in Pittsburgh, so they signed Trevor Cahill to a one year deal.

It's OK to sign a Trevor Cahill or two, but no promises attached. Dejan Kovacevic's Daily Shot of Pirates show is all-new every weekday morning on the DK Sports Radio podcasting network. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I have a few takeaways from last night's win over Buffalo as the Pens continue to do what they should do. Also, Tomlin and Canada were hanging out at Clemson's Pro Day...Etienne make sense for the Steelers?  While Yinz Were Sleepin': Buccos sign Trevor Cahill, Mark Ingram signs elsewhere, Jesse James released  John Brown and Adrian Peterson say they want to come to Pittsburgh. Baseball continues to experiment with rules.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, Ben Kaspick discusses the Giants' upcoming offseason and its key dates and deadlines. For five days after the World Series ends, the Giants will have exclusive negotiating rights with their own free agents: Kevin Gausman, Drew Smyly, Tony Watson, and Trevor Cahill. Once five days are up, they must have decided whether or not to extend any of their free agents the qualifying offer, valued at one year and $18.9 million. Gausman and Smyly are possibilities to be extended the offer. The player(s) then have 15 days to decide whether or not to accept the offer. Also five days after the World Series ends, the Giants must add six players back to their 40-man roster who were either on the 60-day injured list or the restricted list. That could cause a roster crunch and may force the Giants to make some DFAs. They will have five catchers on the 40-man at that point in time, so a catcher may be designated.As we move into late November, the Giants must also choose which prospects to add to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft in early December. They have a few prospects in their Top 30 who are eligible for the Rule 5 Draft and will need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to be protected. They'll also have to decide which players eligible for arbitration to be tendered contracts. The Giants have several arbitration eligible players, and a few seem to be non-tender candidates. Those decisions need to be made by December 2nd.Built Bar-Today's episode is brought to you by Built Bar. Go to builtbar.com and use promo code “LOCKEDON,” and you'll get 20% off your next order.

In todays episode, along with recapping the 2 game series against the Seattle Mariners and Game 1 against the San Diego Padres, James gives a formal introduction to the newest Giant we saw in last nights game. Make sure to stick around for his analogy that involves regretful fast food choices and Trevor Cahill's last start.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants releasing the beloved Pablo Sandoval, adding Justin Smoak and Drew Smyly to the roster, and losing 6-1 to the San Diego Padres. Before the game, the Giants announced that they had placed Sandoval on unconditional release waivers and activated the recently signed Smoak. They also activated Drew Smyly off the injured list and optioned Rico Garcia to the Alternate Site in Sacramento. It's the end of an era with Sandoval being released. Sandoval left on not the greatest of terms following the 2014 championship season. He returned with his proverbial tail between his legs in 2017 after being released from the Red Sox, and reestablished his legacy and his relationship with the fans over the next few years. In Smoak, the Giants are gaining a player who struggled this year before being released by the Brewers, but has a strong track record of patience and power. He will represent a threat to draw a walk or hit a home run every time he steps to the plate. The Giants were dominated by the Padres in last night's loss. Despite the loss, the Giants maintained a two-game lead over the Rockies for the NL's final playoff spot. Trevor Cahill was shaky in the start and the Giants' offense couldn't muster much against Padres pitching, but Smyly came out of the bullpen and was absolutely dominant over four innings. He struck out eight and walked one, and got a ton of swinging strikes. Smyly was dominant for the Giants before going on the injured list, so last night was just a continuation of how great Smyly has looked all year. The Giants figure to use him out of the rotation down the stretch, but could use him as a super reliever instead. Either way, the Giants are probably interested in keeping Smyly in their organization beyond 2020 based on how he's pitching. If he keeps this up, he could be in high demand in the offseason.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the Giants' sweep of the Diamondbacks over the weekend. The Giants' win on Sunday was their sixth straight, and they are now just two games under .500 and in one of the eight National Leauge playoff positions. The postseason was expanded to 16 teams in this pandemic-shortened season, and the Giants may be poised to take advantage. Despite people writing them off from day one, the Giants have performed much better than most expected. The offense and the starting pitcher has been a real strength. If it weren't for some extremely unlikely 9th-inning collapses, the Giants would be a winning team, perhaps even as good as 17-13.President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler deserve much of the credit. Zaidi has built a roster that is flexible and able to generate consistent favorable matchups. Kapler and his coaching staff have gotten the most out of their position player mix. Zaidi also built a starting staff that has exceeded expectations despite the highly criticized loss of Madison Bumgarner in free agency. Bumgarner has not pitched well for the D-backs and is on the injured list. In his place, free agent signings Kevin Gausman, Tyler Anderson (who was claimed off waivers, non-tendered, then signed), Trevor Cahill, and Drew Smyly have pitched very well. Logan Webb has taken a step forward and pitched beautifully on Friday. Anderson threw a complete-game on Saturday. Cahill was excellent on Sunday.All the while, Mike Yastrzemski has continued to play like an MVP. He homered on his 30th birthday yesterday, and made a sensational, run-saving catch in a tie game on Saturday. And the youth is coming. Joey Bart continued to play well over the weekend, and the Giants have a stable of young prospects waiting to come up in the coming years ahead. Despite all the criticism this team has taken under Zaidi and now Kapler, fans and media alike are finally seeing the new positive direction of this team.Rock AutoAmazing selection.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' much-needed win over the Angels on Tuesday afternoon. Coming into this game, the Giants had lost their last three games in which they had a 9th-inning lead. They blew a five-run 9th-inning lead on Friday, a three-run 9th-inning lead on Saturday, and a one-run 9th-inning lead on Monday. So the Giants hoped for a nice, easy win on Tuesday, and that's exactly what they got. Mike Yastrzemski hit a leadoff home run and made a game-altering catch that saved two runs. He's looked like a National League MVP frontrunner all season. He may not have the star power to hold off the likes of Fernando Tatis Jr. or Mookie Betts, but Yaz's MVP-like season should be recognized. He enters Monday leading the majors in FanGraphs WAR. Trevor Cahill started the game for the Giants. It was Cahill's second appearance with the Giants. His first start came on the road against the Astros, and he pitched okay but struggled with command and walked four in two innings. This time around, Cahill was sharp. He went four strong innings, allowing just one run and striking out four. Cahill joins a Giants rotation that is surprisingly decent. Kevin Gausman, Johnny Cueto, Logan Webb, Tyler Anderson, and Cahill give the Giants a chance every night. Drew Smyly should help, too, whenever he's able to come back from his index finger strain. The only Giants starter who has struggled mightily is Jeff Samardzija, who's on the IL with a shoulder injury. Giants veterans helped fuel the offense in this 8-2 win. Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run homer on a neck-high fastball, Brandon Crawford pitched in with a couple of doubles, and Brandon Belt and Evan Longoria also got in on the action. The Giants led 8-1 going into the bottom of the 9th, which still didn't feel totally comfortable given how their last three 9th-inning leads had gone. Shaun Anderson was brought in after Caleb Baragar, Sam Selman, Wandy Peralta, and Jarlin Garicia pitched clean innings in support of Cahill. Anderson, however, threw two pitches near the head of Mike Trout. It was immediately questioned whether the throws were on purpose, after Longoria was drilled in the back by a fastball earlier in the game. If intentional, Anderson should be punished and reprimanded. However, it's entirely possible that the up-and-in pitches were unintentional. Manager Gabe Kapler said after the game, "We don't throw at people. It's not who we are." Anderson ended up walking Trout and allowing a run, but ultimately he got the final three outs of the game.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' 5-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Wednesday in Houston, and discusses the team's performance to date as we reach the shortened season's 1/3 mark. Trevor Cahill made his Giants debut and his stuff was good, but he struggled with command in the second inning in which he walked three and threw a lot of pitches. It became a bullpen game, and Dereck Rodriguez made his season debut and pitched decently as well. His velocity was up from where it's been the last couple of years, but he still sat in the low-90s, which is only average. Lefty Caleb Baragar allowed four consecutive singles in the fourth inning, including a three-run home run by Martin Maldonado. Baragar's numbers on the season have been awful, and really the bullpen as a whole has been awful.Ben discusses all aspects of the Giants on today's show. Mike Yastrzemski, Donovan Solano, and Austin Slater have been huge bright spots, and several players like Wilmer Flores, Alex Dickerson, Darin Ruf, Chadwick Tromp, and Tyler Heineman have been decent, but the Giants have gotten poor production out of several younger players and multiple veterans. Mauricio Dubón, Jaylin Davis, Joe McCarthy, and Steven Duggar have done little to nothing. Veterans Evan Longoria, Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Pablo Sandoval, and Hunter Pence have been well below replacement level on the whole. At some point, the Giants will need to move on from their struggling veterans. Longoria's defense has been an asset, but Crawford's has continued to deteriorate as he moves late into his career. Crawford does not have an extra-base hit this season. The starting pitching has been decent. Johnny Cueto, Kevin Gausman, Logan Webb, Drew Smyly, and Trevor Cahill could form a solid starting five. Jeff Samardzija is dealing with a shoulder injury and is results were terrible when he pitched this year.Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices. All the parts your car will ever need.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick takes a stab at predicting the San Francisco Giants' 30-man Opening Day roster. There are several non-roster invitees who are likely to make the team, which will force the Giants to shake up their 40-man roster. Catching prospect Joey Bart is unlikely to make the team, which will come as a big disappointment to a lot of Giants fans, but the team is justified in its rationale that Bart needs more time to develop. Darin Ruf, Yomer Sánchez, Pablo Sandoval, and two catchers (probably Tyler Heineman and Rob Brantly) will need to be added to the Giants' 40-man roster, which currently has 37 players on it. The Giants can probably get away with carrying only 40-man pitchers, although non-roster pitcher Trevor Cahill may be added at some point after he recovers from a fingernail issue on his pitching hand. Outfielder Billy Hamilton is another non-roster player who will likely be added to the major league roster as soon as he's ready (he reported late to camp beause of "medical reasons"). All this to say the Giants' 40-man roster is going to be shaken up this year, and that's probably not a bad thing. The 40-man roster has been transformed under Farhan Zaidi, and that trend will continue in 2020 as new players and prospects arrive on the scene.cbdMDOur friends at cbdMD have an amazing duo that can help you relax, regroup, and recharge when life gets chaotic. And to make it even easier cbdMD is offering all our listeners 25% OFF your next order when you use the promo code LOCKED ON MLB at checkout.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick takes a stab at predicting the San Francisco Giants' 30-man Opening Day roster.

The Giants released their 60-man player pool on Monday, and there were a few surprises. A handful of 40-man players were left off, indicating that those players could be at risk of being DFA'd to make room for the non-roster invitees who seem to be in good position to make an Opening Day roster. Pablo Sandoval, Billy Hamiltion, Trevor Cahill, and Yolmer Sánchez were all released then re-signed to minor league deals over the weekend. It was reported that all four were assured they would make the team. In order to add those players to the 40-man roster, San Francisco will have to remove others. On today's show, host Ben Kaspick speculates about which players might be at risk of being DFA'd. He also discusses Hunter Bishop, the Giants' 2019 first-round draft pick, testing positive for COVID-19 and consequently being left off the 60-man player pool for now.

Todd likes his team in the latest fantasy draft. He is a little light on pitching having drafted no aces. He talks about Trevor May having good value at 10 dollars if he closes games, if not probably 5 dollars too high. Adam likes how he drafted Trevor Cahill and Cedric Mullens of the Orioles. Todd says Luis Severino is worth the risk because he feels the shoulder discomfort isnt a big enough deal to take him off the board. Adam wraps up with daily NBA DFS. Karl Anthony Towns is a play but probably too much money. Jeff Teague is a nice play as well.

John Halpin talks with Kyle Elfrink (SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio) about Matt Harvey, Yonder Alonso, Freddie Freeman, Trevor Cahill, Byron Buxton, Jose Quintana, Kevin Gausman, Jon Lester, Kyle Seager, Addison Russell & Carlos Gonzalez
