The Pittsburg Pirates were seeing better than 90% of the action in this game against the Cincinnati Reds. They are a -140 favorite here. The line opened at -120.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Anthony DeSclafani (1-1, 5.40 ERA) vs: Pirates RH Joe Musgrove (2-1, 2.16)
DeSclafani is making his third start this season and surrendered 16 hits along with three walks over 10 innings in his first two outings. The 28-year-old struck out six and earned a win last Sunday against St. Louis despite allowing three runs - two earned - and 10 hits across five innings.
Musgrove turned in a quality start at Arizona on Monday but could not come away with a decision after allowing three runs - two earned - and five hits over six innings.
Cincinnati is 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Pittsburgh and Musgrove not getting the decision last time versus DeSclafani winning makes the PIRATES AND IDEAL PLAY HERE AT -140 as we attempt to regroup.
