Moneyline
Pirates H2H (+140*) has a 2.6% edge on the sportsbooks

The Reds form hasn’t been all that impressive, going .500 in their last 10. We believe today could be the time to strike with some juicy odds on offer for the Pirates to win straight up. Pittsburgh has been better than their overall record suggests. Take them at the moneyline.

Over/Under
u9.5 runs (-105*) has a 50% probability

These two teams haven’t exactly been slugging them so far this weekend, but we know that Pirates games do have a tendency to go for some huge run totals. If you’re an over/under bettor, it’s worth having a nibble on the over here.

Dimers' take-out

When two teams are evenly matched like the Pirates and Reds, there is always some real value to be had. This is a great opportunity to boost your balances by siding with the underdog who is legitimately capable of springing a surprise.
