ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER the Total - Cincinnati Reds @ Pittsburgh Pirates, Saturday at 7:05 PM ET
The set up is perfect here as these teams are off a double header yesterday. Those games totaled 6 and 7 runs respectively but keep in mind those were only 7 inning games since it was a double header. Also, all those runs yesterday were scored in the first 5 innings yesterday. We fully expect these teams to again get to at least 6 or 7 runs by the midway point of the game once again and this time, being a 9-inning game, it should easily get over the total. The Reds are starting Anthony DeSclafani here. He is off his first start since coming back from paternity leave and he was rocked for 7 runs in less than 4 innings of work. Also, the Pirates are loaded with hitters that have good history against DeSclafani. Not only high batting averages but also guys like Bell, Frazier, Moran, Newman, and Polanco have combined for 9 homers in 77 at bats against him. As you can see the Bucs hitters have a lot of experience against DeSclafani and have taken him deep often. The Reds right-hander has a 7.71 ERA this season but the only good news for him here is that he should be the recipient of plenty of run support in this one! The Cincinnati sticks will be teeing off against Pittsburgh's Trevor Williams in this one. He is 1-5 with a 5.50 ERA on the season. Reds hitters Barnhart, Casali, Castellanos, Galvis, Votto, Winker all have had good success against Williams with high averages. Prior to yesterday's double-header (again those are shortened games!) 4 of Cincinnati's last 5 games had totaled 11 or more runs. The Reds are known for a struggling bullpen. The Pirates, prior to yesterday's double-header had seen 5 of their 7 preceding games total 10 or more runs. Per our computer math model, this one gets into double digits in runs as well! Bet the OVER in Pittsburgh in early evening action Saturday.
