Today's Play
5 Units Pittsburgh Pirates / Atlanta Braves Under 9-130
Game: Pittsburgh Pirates at Atlanta Braves 7:05 p.m. ET
Sport: MLB - Major League Baseball
Line: Total 9 under -130
Prediction: Under 9 -130
Explanation: 5 Units MONEY BAG PLAY
Arms Must Start: Pittsburgh - Mark Redman / Atlanta - Kyle Davies
After yesterday, these two teams are now 0-4 (o/u) in their meetings this season and 1-8 (o/u) dating back to last season. We should also point out that ATL is now 43-52 (o/u) on the season, 30-38 (o/u) in night games and 14-27 (o/u) this season when the total is set between 8.5 and 10.
Both teams are also struggling with their bats of late. The Braves for their part are averaging just 3.2 runs per game over their last eight contests. The good news is that they are also holding their opponents to just three runs during this same stretch. That combination has put the Braves at 1-6-1 (o/u) during their last eight games.
Pittsburgh meanwhile is also averaging just 3.3 runs per game over their last eight contests. But like their Braves, the Pirates pitching has been stellar at the same time, allowing a paltry 3.9 runs over the same number of games. This has resulted in PIT going “Under” in six of their last eight.
Neither one of today’s stating pitchers will be confused with Cy Young anytime soon. The Bucs will send out Mark Redman and his 3.99 ERA while ATL will counter with Kyle Davis and his 4.32 ERA (4.02 ERA at home). Aside from all of the evidence we have above, we should note that also that Redman is 12-24 (o/u) dating back to last season when the total is between 8.5 and 10. In addition, the Braves are 9-15 (o/u) vs. lefties this season. All said, there is simply too much evidence too suggest another low scoring affair between these clubs. Play the Under 9
