Giants vs. Pirates predictions: MLB odds, picks, best bets Tuesday
'Great weekend. It appears [Brian] Cashman and [Aaron] Boone have traded 11 prospects for the Three Stooges. It would have been better to keep the prospects and watch the Stooges on reruns.' — Nick Kass, New York, Yankee fan
Cashman may have to move Mo, Larry, and Curly to the Savannah Bananas for three Chiquitas.
The Giants visit the Pirates, and I haven't been this excited since the 'mountain stage' of the Tour de France.
Frisco's Logan Webb (one run over 5 ²/₃ innings) and Pittsburgh's Mike Burrows (one run over six) pitched well when they faced each other out West.
Giants won. We will take Burrows and the Bucs for $50 (+115, bet365).

NBA Fans Bracing for Ben Simmons News After Celtics' Roster Move
NBA Fans Bracing for Ben Simmons News After Celtics' Roster Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics made a roster move on Wednesday. The team confirmed via its official X account that JD Davison was waived, which puts their roster at 14 players for the 2024-25 season. While a move like this gets the Celtics under the NBA's second tax apron, fans have speculated that Boston will use their final roster spot to add Ben Simmons, who the Celtics have reportedly been interested in, per Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst. "Ben Simmons welcome to Boston," one wrote. "Big Ben is coming," another proclaimed. "My guess, Ben Simmons is on the way," another predicted. Simmons is an unrestricted free agent, so waiving Davison allows Boston to sign him. Waiving Davison not too long after Boston's reported interest in Simmons would make it easy to conclude that the Celtics are opening up room to sign him. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that is what will happen. The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach confirmed that the Celtics waived Davison and that no move is imminent for them. According to a league source, the Celtics are waiving guard JD Davison," Himmelsbach wrote. "Davison, the G League MVP, is no longer eligible for a two-way contract with the Cs but could sign one elsewhere or compete for a roster spot. Celtics now have one open spot, but no move imminent." It's possible another move is on the horizon, but the Celtics can enter the 2025-26 season with a roster that includes at least 14 players at minimum. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.
