Predictions and bets for Tigers @ Pirates

If you don’t like high scoring baseball. Wait, let me rephrase. If you don’t like fun, then you probably wouldn’t like this Detroit/Pittsburgh series.

The Tigers and Pirates close out their three-game series which can only be described as a runs feast that has averaged 23 runs per game.

Dimers' Suggested Plays

Lock: Pirates +1.5 (-126*)

Moneyline: Pirates (+124*)

Total runs: Over 8.5 (-120*)

Lock

It’s been a see-sawing battle between these two all weekend, with Friday’s game going to extra innings and then Detroit pulling away yesterday to win comfortably. Our model predicts the Pirates winning this one. Add the run line just to be sure.

Moneyline

The Pirates were so close on Friday, scoring three runs in the 9^th to force it into extra inning only to cough it up in the 11^th. We’ve been keen on the Pirates all weekend and we see them salvaging at least 1 win from this entertaining series.

Run line

Offense. 30 runs scored in the first match of this series, 16 in the second. You’ll forgive us for thinking that the 8.5-line set here is modest. We’re happy to keep this one rolling.

Dimers' take-out

What a great series this has been. We’re expecting another thrilling contest with lots of high scoring. Take the Pirates here at the run line but also load into the total runs.
