Pirates plus $1.18 hosting Blue Jays
The Pirates are one of biggest surprises of the early baseball season going 20-13. That record would be even better if Pittsburgh hadn’t gotten swept three games in Tampa by the 27-6 Rays.
The Blue Jays have a losing road record and are starting Jose Berrios.
That’s enough for me to back Pittsburgh as a home ‘dog. Toronto is 0-4 in Berrios’ four road starts this season. Berrios’ road ERA is 7.77.
I’m not thrilled with Pittsburgh starter Johan Oviedo. He’s 2-2 with a 4.78 ERA. But it’s not enough for me to get off the Pirates taking a plus price.
Note, too, the Pirates are 11-3 in their last 14 games on a grass field. Their home stadium, PNC Park, is a grass field. The Blue Jays play on artificial turf. Toronto has lost four of its last five games played on a natural surface.
I am 14-9 on my last 23 NBA plays enjoying winning seasons in the NBA and NHL. I also have won my last six premium baseball totals plays. If you are interested in my sports service please email me at scriber26@gmail.com, or message me via Twitter. Thanks and best of luck!
