Pirates vs. Phillies Best Bets

Saturday, August 27, 2022 - 6:05PM ET

PICK: Nick Castellanos Over 1.5 Total Bases (+112)

Since firing their Skipper Joe Girardi earlier this season, the Philadelphia Phillies have played some of the best baseball in the Majors.

Currently on a five game win streak, I'm turning to a Total Base prop from one of their key offseason acquisitions, the $100 Million Dollar Man - Nick Castellanos.

After starting the season off very slowly - to put it mildly - Castellanos has been one of the Phightins hottest hitters since the All-Star break, and that makes this a good time to get in on our exclusive BetMGM offer ➡️ here ⬅️ where you get $20 free and a risk-free bet up to $1,000 if you're a new customer.

Since mid-July, Nick has raised his batting average over 20 points - at a time the team needed it most being without reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper. Although recently having his 14 game hitting streak snapped, the Phillies Right Fielder has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games accumulating 35 Total Bases, a 2.19 Total Bases Per Game Average.

Tonight, Castellanos and the Phillies face the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Right Hander Tyler Beede. Making only his fifth start of the season, Beede enters tonight’s game with a 1-3 record to go along with an ERA of 4.13 and a 1.49 WHIP.

Head to head, Castellanos has had limited At Bats against Beede, however his numbers are excellent. Nick is 4 for 4 off of Beede with 3 singles and a Home Run.

With another warm, hitter-friendly evening at Citizens Bank Park, I expect Nick Castellanos to continue swinging his hot bat and cashing this nice plus money prop so bet with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️ and claim an awesome new customer bonus while you're at it - including a $20 free bet, just for signing up!
