I like this game to get over the posted total tonight. Van Benschoten has been awful. In his last 3 starts, he is 0-1 with an ERA of 15.63. Mohler is throwing for the Astros on the other side, and he carries a 4-4 record with a 4.13 ERA into this game. Both teams have the ability to score runs in bunches, and PIT is one of the best "over bets" in baseball. The over is 5-2 for the Pirates in their last 7 games. This is one of those games where the total could be hit by the 7th inning.
