The Pittsburgh Pirates will travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to face the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, with the first pitch scheduled for 1:35 PM ET on Sunday afternoon. They will air on NBC Sports Philadelphia and SportsNet Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have gotten off to a fast start to the 2024 MLB season, entering this game with a record of 10-5.   However, they have struggled over their last four games, losing three of their last four matchups, including Games 1 and 2 in the series on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies, with a 1-5 loss in Game 1 on Thursday and a 3-4 loss in Game 3 of the series on Saturday. 

Losing to the Phillies isn’t new to the Pirates, as they have compiled a record of 6-14 in their last 20 games in the series, including losing two of the previous three meetings.. 

The Pittsburgh Pirates have not lost a series this season and will look to keep that intact with a series split with the Philadelphia Phillies with a win in Game 4 on Sunday afternoon.

The Philadelphia Phillies are projected to be the 2^nd best team in the NL East this season and have had a solid start to the 2024 MLB season as they enter this game with a record of 8-7 following Saturday’s 4-3 win at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 3 of the series. 

The Phillies have won four of their last six games, winning by an average margin of .33 runs per game.  Philadelphia has been the dominant team in the series against Pittsburgh, winning 14 of the last 20 meetings, including wins in games 1 and 3. 

The Phillies have won two of the last three games against the Pirates with Zach Wheeler on the mound.  The Philadelphia Phillies will look to win the series 3-1 with a win in Game 4 of the series on Sunday afternoon.

JustBet has the Philadelphia Phillies listed as -189 moneyline favorites at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 4 of the series on Sunday afternoon.  The teams have split the last ten meetings, while Philadelphia has won two of the previous three games in the series and has won by an average margin of .67 runs per game in those contests.  Zach Wheeler is 2-0 with a no-decision in his last three starts against Pittsburgh, while Mitch Keller has gone 0-1 with two no-decisions in his previous three starts against Philadelphia. 

Philadelphia has won 14 of the last 20 meetings in the series against Philadelphia and has won two of the first three games this season by an average margin of .67 runs per game in those contests.  The Pirates have lost the last three games against the Phillies with Mitch Keller on the mound, while the Phillies have won two of their previous three games with Zach Wheeler.  As a result, I am taking the moneyline for the Philadelphia Phillies when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon.
