Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals: Thomas Saggese Over 1.5 Batter - Runs Scored (+1180)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The St. Louis Cardinals have struggled lately, winning just 3 of their last 10 games, while the Pittsburgh Pirates have been doing better with 6 wins in that same stretch. Tonight, the wind is blowing out toward the outfield at PNC Park, which can help hitters. This boost, plus the fact that Thomas Saggese is set to bat against a pitcher that might not match well with his style, makes this bet feel promising.
Saggese has been getting hits at only half his usual rate lately, which is the main concern here. Still, with the way the Pirates are playing and the favorable conditions, betting on him to score over 1.5 runs could pay off big time. Just remember, this is a long shot, so it might not work out.
