Double Dime (4 units): Pittsburgh Pirates - Cleveland Indians
I think that right now Pirates are the major fading material and there's huge value to bet agains them, especially that their opponents seem to be underrated for this contest and we've got @ 1.971 price for their loss, which represents rare value. First of all, hosts 11-games losing streak looks pathetic and it exactly shows how they've been playing of late. Hitting is mediocre at best, while whole pitching staff is struggling big time, that's why they've been swept third time in a row yesterday, losing 4-5 against White Sox. What's worse this series was at PNC Park, so I doubt home-field factor will be an important advantage for them. Paul Maholm (4-4, 3.63 ERA) may be the best pitcher in their rotation, though he's still way worse than his statistics show and to be honest he ain't capable of lasting more than 6-7 innings, while bullpen is really average at the moment. He's been struggling at home with 4.58 ERA, so the Tribe should produce some runs against him, adding a few facing bullpen as well. On the contrary Indians really need a win after being swept at home by high-flying Mets (won seven games in a row) because they have to break 4-games losing streak. They were rock solid before that small slump (that's why they're 4-4 in last 8 matches), so they ought to bounce back against Pirates, especially that Fausto Carmona (5-5, 3.23 ERA) has been in superb form of late and what's more he's got a lot better stamina than his vis-a-vis and can last even 8 innings in here. He had complete game in last outing (against Nationals, earned 1 run), so adding the fact he's 2.77 ERA on road and 1.96 ERA in June, he ought to be money in this spot. One of these teams have to break their losing streaks and I suppose that hosts will continue their huge slump, while Indians will be back on winning track. Taking it early because odds will most probably drop. Double Dime selection for me because it's extreme value.
