Game: Pittsburgh Pirates at San Fancisco Giants
When: Friday, August 23rd at 12.10pm AEST
Starters: Jeff Locke 2.90ERA vs Matt Cain 4.35ERA - Locke has gone 5-2 on the road with a 1.81 ERA. Cain pitched well against Miami last Saturday allowing just four hits with two runs over seven innings. Cain also pitched earlier in the season to this pirates team and went six scoreless innnings and picked up the win. While this run line looks small it originally opened at 7.5 and was quickly bet down to 7.0.
7.0 is a key number in baseball total run betting. If your book is only offering 6.5 we would recommend shopping around for 7.0/7.5. It might not sound like much but long term its very important. We are leaning Pirates Outright and the Under total run score .
The theme today looks like solid starting pitchers. So with that in mind...
Other leans today include:
Atlanta Braves ($2.26) Outright Vs. St. Louis Cardinals at Sportsbet
Atlanta/St Louis Under 8.5 Total Run Score at Sportsbet
Philadelphia Phillies ($1.74) Outright Vs. Colorado Rockies at Sportsbet
