10* TOP AFTERNOON TOTAL (+$33K ALL SPORTS RUN!)
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis,
Total: 9.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Push
This is a 10* TOP AFTERNOON TOTAL on the OVER Pirates/Cardinals.

I had a play on the OVER in yesterday's game, and while that came up short in the Cards 3-1 win, I expect the finale to finally produce some offense.

The visitors and the ball to Max Kranick, who makes his major league debut here. He's made seven starts in the minors and owns a pedestrian 4.37 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. I think he's going to have a rude welcoming here on this summer day in St. Louis.

The home side counters with Johan Oviedo, who gave up six runs off six hits while striking out only one over 3.2 innings in a loss to the lowly Tigers. Over 39 innings of work so far Oviedo has a poor 30:21 K:BB.

The stage is set for these starving line-ups to finally post some production.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
