Phillies (Velazquez) @ Pirates (Crowe) 7:05 PM ET Game# 901-902 Play On: Over 9.0 (10*) Philadelphia has played 9-1 to the over in their last 10 away and there was a combined average of 13.5 runs scored per game. The Phillies will be facing Pittsburgh righthander William Crow today. Crowe has allowed an alarmingly high 8 home runs during 29 2/3 innings pitched in his last 6 starts. That’s noteworthy since Philadelphia has smashed 12 home runs over their previous 7 games. Vincent Velazquez has been horrible during his previous 4 starts while posting a 10.91 ERA and 2.04 WHIP. Velazquez has also been prone to giving up the long ball as well in 2021. That’s been especially apparent throughout those previous 4 starts when he surrendered 7 home runs in only 15 2/3 innings of work. Velazquez has pitched 2-0 to the over during his career at PNC Park in Pittsburgh with a hefty 7.15 ERA and 1.82 WHIP. The Phillies bullpen has a lofty 1.67 WHIP throughout its last 7 games, and they’ve been a disaster for a better part of the past 2 seasons. William Crowe has amassed a large 7.57 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 8 starts at night this season. The Pirates are coming off being swept in a 3-game series versus Milwaukee who has arguably the best pitching staff in baseball. Pittsburgh went just 13-for-91 (.143 BA) in that 3-game set. However, the Pirates have played 9-0 to the over this season following a 3-game stretch in which they recorded a team batting average of .175 or worse. The Pirates have also played 6-0-1 to the over during its last 7 at home when the total was 9.0 or greater and there were a combined 14.0 runs scored per game. Bet on the over for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Astros (Greinke) @ Giants (Wood) 4:05 PM ET Game# 975-976 Play On: Under 8.0 (5*) The Astros Zack Grienke has pitched 3-0 to the under in his last 3 starts with a 2.35 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Since 2014, Greinke has made 7 starts at San Francisco and posted a dominating 0.76 ERA throughout 47 2/3 innings pitched. Since 2019, Grienke has pitched 16-2 to the under in games he was a road favorite of -110 or more. Alex Wood has displayed good form during his previous 3 starts while recording a 2.60 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Wood has also collected an extremely impressive 0.96 ERA and 0.75 WHIP in 3 career starts versus the Astros. Both starting pitchers have pitched superbly in day games this season. Despite Houston scoring 8 or more runs in each of their previous 4 games the total in this game is only 8.0. I’m trusting the oddsmaker on this one. Bet on this game to go under the total. |
