BEST
Over/Under: o8.5 runs (-115*) has a 54% chance of going over
As we correctly pointed out yesterday, when these two teams collide, it means runs, runs and more runs. Yesterday’s game was no exception with some late drama resulting in both teams combining for 13 runs. Tomorrow’s listed starting pitchers do nothing to suggest that offense won’t continue to win out here. Take the over.
Moneyline
Pirates H2H (+210*) has a 2.9% edge on the sportsbooks
Boy, were the Pirates close to causing an upset last night. The Brewers had to rally home with two runs in the bottom of the ninth to win against the Pirates who are now 9-21. The season has not gone to script for Pittsburgh so far, but they seem to match up extremely well against this Milwaukee team. Our predictive analysis suggests that the +210 on offer for the Pirates is too good to refuse. Take for a small wager.
Run line
Pirates +1.5 (+100*) has a 51% chance of covering the run line
It goes without saying that if we like Pittsburgh at the money line, then we LOVE them at the run line. When the sportsbooks are giving us a chance to double our money with a $100 bet, we’re going to gobble that up.

Dimers' take-out
The Pirates have been much more entertaining than their 9-21 record suggests, mainly because their defense has been lacking. Nevertheless, we’ll gladly cash in on the over once again, and we won’t be ruling out a chance at an upset victory for Pittsburgh. Check out legal sportsbooks in your area here.
