Six winning days in a row. Trying to keep it going. Going to stick with a familiar play here.
Cincinatti Reds -128 to win 1 Unit
Reds/Pirates Under 8 +100 to win 1 Unit
Let's get the familiar stuff out of the way. The Pirates since the trade deadline are now 12-36 and 3-22 in their last 25. Even the announcers sound dead on the broadcast. I mean it was a brutal game to watch. The lineup is filled with sub .250 hitters as well as a guy or two sitting under the Mendoza line. Charlie Morton has pitched solid lately for the Pirates. He pitched a gem last time out against the Padres going 7 innings and giving up one run. 4 of his last 5 starts he has allowed 3 runs or less. However, the one game he did get knocked around in was when he allowed 6 runs in Cincinatti. Bronson Arroyo has been pitching the lights out lately and has gone 7 innings or more in his last 10 starts. In those 10 starts he has pitched 74.1 innings and allowed 17 runs. That pans out to an ERA of 2.05. This I think pans out to a split at worst. Won't be surprised to win both.
Reds 3, Pirates 2
