Wandy is 3-4 Career against the pirates with an ERA over 5. He faced them earlier this year and got beat up but that was at PNC Park. On the road he is terrible but at home he has an era just over 2.
Morton has only had one start against the pirates and that was with the Braves last year, he got rocked gave up 6 runs in 4 innings.
So I think a small wager on the RL might be worth it. But the Over is how I will bet this game.

Did you already put your money on the Stros? The more I look at it I think 1 unit on the pirates would be worth more than laying the juice on the stros here. Or at least the +1.5 RL. I still think Over I know they have mediocre line ups but Wandy Career Era against this team is over 9. Its just a matchup that screams over to me
Astros:
Wandy Rodriguez:
Home ERA is 2.60 (52.0 IP)
Day game ERA is 2.50 (36.0 IP)
Hitting:
.266 at home
.259 in day games
Pirates:
Charlie Morton:
1.50 ERA on the road (12.0 IP)
5.40 ERA in day games (5.0 IP)
Hitting:
.243 on the road
.251 in day games
Both of these teams are Under teams:
Pittsburgh Under is 45-36-3 this year.
Houston Under is 45-32-5 this year.
Therefore, an obvious bet would be on the Under today as both teams have good pitchers on the mound. But, in Morton's games, the Under is 2-2; and in Wandy's games, the Under is 9-8 -- Both are right around %50 despite having solid ERA's and WHIPs.
Leans:
Pittsburgh +145
Pitt/Houston Over 8

"Been looking at the Houston game and thinking about hopping on that fat Pirate doggy line... Wandy has a terrible era against the Pirates (9.64) who are fairly familiar with his stuff.. Morton's got a (1.50 road era) w/ the Pirates and has faced only 4 batters in this year's line-up and in only 2 or 3 ABs at most who aren't hitting him nearly as well as Pirates are hitting Wandy.."
