To nobody’s surprise, I suck at betting baseball. I’m 100-105-4 so far this season and even though I started out hot, it feels like I haven’t won an MLB bet in weeks. I had a five team parlay yesterday and every damn team lost. Mets lost. White Sox lost. Padres lost. I needed 10 runs in the Nationals/Orioles game and they sored eight. And the San Francisco Giants got embarrassed at home to the Pittsburg Pirates, 10-2.
Today is a big day for the Giants. They’ve lost the first two games of the series against Pittsburg but I think San Fran’s offense gets right today and I don’t see them getting swept.
Reminder: I suck at betting baseball.
The Pirates are 17-34 on the road, while the Giants are 30-15 at home and 9-2 in their last 11 games during Game 3 of a series. JT Brubaker hasn’t been great on the road as he’s 1-5 with a 5.33 ERA. Brubaker is just 4-9 on the season with a 5.68 ERA.
Reminder: I suck at betting baseball.
The Giants will send out left-hander Alex Wood, who has been very solid this season with an 8-3 record and a 3.77 ERA. Wood is also 5-2 at home with a 3.71 ERA. The Pirates struggle against lefty’s. Pittsburg is just 16-43 in its last 59 games against left-handed starters. There’s a good chance that Pittsburg wins this game because I’m betting on the Giants but I’m going big on San Fran today. I’m not a fan of drinking juice, so I’m going to bet big on Giants run line and I’m going to take Giants over 4.5 runs.
Reminder: I suck at betting baseball.
Best of luck, everyone.
