Two MLB Bets To Consider On Friday August 11th 2023
Reds @ Pirates 7:05pm
Under 9.5 Total Runs (-120)
Reds Moneyline (-115)
Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott has struggled in his last two starts. However, this will be an easier matchup today against a Pirates offense that really struggles against left handed pitching. The Pirates rank 28th in OPS against lefties over the last month, and they have the worst power metrics in the league. Pittsburgh will have Johan Oviedo on the mound. Oviedo has pitched really well over the last month with a 2.32 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. Both bullpens have struggled in the last month. That being said, both of these starters have been able to pitch deep into ball games this season. We are going with two separate bets. A half unit on under 9.5 total runs to be scored (via PointsBet), and an additional half unit on the Reds moneyline (via DraftKings).
