I need the answer for Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh 10/01

ComebackKid31 · Sep 29, 2013

Need my fellow handicappers to help me pull out all the stops on this one.

Lets break this down and find out who is going to win this one. A lot of good minds here - I'm a first time caller long time listener - have been betting baseball for the last decade. Cannot get a feel for this Cincinnati team (who has not lost six in a row all season long).

I feel like EVERYTHING points towards Pittsburgh winning this game, which is why Cincinnati takes the money. I feel like the under is a lock. I *should* have a pulse for both of these teams as I have watched them extensively all season long, yet I do not. The only thing I am feeling certain on is the under 6.5

No way Cueto lays an egg after last years playoff injury. Big question is if Reds can score any runs. Gotta take the Reds +money here.

Have to wonder how close to 100% Brandon Phillips is... The Reds showed absolutely zero intensity over the last week, maybe getting out on the road will charge them up... That said, there is no way in hell I would take them in this spot...

Not sure how good Phillips is, but he's playing tomorrow. I figured he would. As i read and gather perspectives, a surprising amount of handicappers and people I know are on the Reds on the money line.

The O/U sits at 6.5. I feel the Pirates get to Cueto for at least 3 runs and I think they do this early in the game. Liriano has been been stellar all year at PNC and I expect this to continue. In my opinion, the Pirates win this game, while the total has a decent shot to find its way over the 6.5. I see a 5-2 or 5-3 type game with the Bucs moving forward.
