Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (59-97) open a 3-game set with the St. Louis Cardinals (90-66) Friday at Busch Stadium. First pitch is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Pirates vs. Cardinals odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Cardinals lead 10-3

The Pirates come into the Gateway City as winners of 3 games in a row and 4 of 5. They have 24-year-old RHP Johan Oviedo on the bump today in his first matchup against the team that traded him for LHP Jose Quintana at the trade deadline.

Oviedo has a great arm, but his control is spotty. Before we even get into the meat of this, I love OVIEDO OVER 3.5 K’s (-117). He has struck out 4+ in all but 1 start this year.

St. Louis has really taken its foot off the pedal, losing 6 of its last 10 contests, but having clinched the NL Central title along the way. However, the Cardinals come in rested after using a skeleton lineup Wednesday after clinching the division and a day off Thursday. It might take a couple of innings, but they should be ready to hit.

RHP Johan Oviedo vs. RHP Jack Flaherty

Oviedo (4-2, 3.13 ERA) makes his 7th start and 20th appearance. He has a 1.28 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in 46 IP.

Last 5 starts since trade to Pirates: 2-1, 3.05 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 10.0 K/9
1-3, 3.75 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 7.5 K/9 in 48 IP at Busch Stadium in his career (as a member of Cardinals)

Last 4 starts: 1-1, 4.71 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, 8.6 K/9

Pirates at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 7, Pirates 3

Money line

This is the first time the Cards return home since capturing the NL Central crown. The place will be abuzz, and Oviedo will be motivated to show them the horse they gave up. But, he’ll have trouble getting through the lineup 2 or 3 times.

Conversely, Flaherty has really struggled to throw strikes after missing much of the season. His mechanics just aren’t there, and his arm talent is guiding him. There will be runs on both sides early. OVER 3.5 TOTAL RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-122) feels like a given, and I would consider OVER 4.5 RUNS FIRST 5 (+133) for a HALF-UNIT as well.

Run line/Against the spread

The Cards are 10-3 against the Bucs this year, and 8 of those were decided by more than a run. There’s an outside chance that Oviedo will contain his former mates and hurl a gem, but he has historically hit a wall in the 4th and 5th innings. That’s where the home team will get it in.

Take the CARDINALS -1.5 (+110) at plus money.

Over/Under

Eight runs feels like a bargain. These two have bludgeoned each other for 8 runs in 11 of the 13 games. Flaherty has given up 3 ER in 3 straight starts, and Oviedo has in 4 of 7. The wind is blowing in on a 64-degree day, but it won’t matter. Take the OVER 7.5 (+110) and thank us later.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3

Money line

Kelly has been great against the Giants this season.

The Giants have been rolling but their 1 loss in their last 10 games was to Kelly and the Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks will likely win at least 1 game this series. Kelly on the mound is their best shot.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks are No. 2 in the majors in covering the spread on the road at 46-29 ATS.

The Giants are 34-44 ATS at home.

Arizona is 12-4 ATS against San Francisco.

However, at -210, it isn’t worth the action, especially if you think they can win outright. Take the money line bet on Arizona and PASS on the spread.

Over/Under

Seven of the 13 games the 2 teams have played have had 8 or more runs but only 1 of the last 7 has.

Five of the Giants’ last 10 games have had 8 or more total runs.

Nine of Arizona’s last 12 have had 7 or fewer and 4 of Kelly’s last 5 starts have had fewer than 8 runs.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-140).

New York Mets at Atlanta Braves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Mets at Atlanta Braves odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (98-58) open a crucial 3-game set with the Atlanta Braves (97-59) Friday at Truist Park. First pitch is set for 7:20 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Braves odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mets lead 9-7

The Mets enter this one clinging to a 1-game lead over the Braves in the NL East in what will be one of the most compelling series of the season. They have traded wins and losses over the last 7 games but need to win this series to hold on to the division and 2nd spot in the NL.

Atlanta lost a 3-2 heartbreaker in 10 innings at the Washington Nationals Wednesday. It snapped a 4-game winning streak. The Braves have their hands full with RHP Jacob deGrom going for the Mets. Atlanta needs this game to have a chance at avoiding a wild-card spot.

Mets at Braves projected starters

RHP Jacob deGrom vs. RHP Max Fried

deGrom (5-3, 2.93 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 0.74 WHIP, 1.2 BB/9 and 14.0 K/9 in 58 1/3 IP.

Last 4 starts: 1-2, 4.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 14.7 K/9
2 starts vs. Braves this year: 12 1/3 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 21 K

Fried (13-7, 2.50 ERA) makes his 30th start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 180 1/3 IP.

Last 4 starts: 1-2, 2.05 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 9.8 K/9

Mets at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 3, Mets 2

Money line

Atlanta has had some success against deGrom this year, and they definitely have more incentive to take this game. He’ll likely strike out a ton of hitters, but Atlanta is a championship-caliber team, and they find ways to win. He’s simply trying to come out of his last start healthy and ready for the playoffs. I like the BRAVES (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

The Braves RL probably has the best chance to cash, but it’s too expensive for me. Instead, let’s back Fried, who has been great this month and against the Mets, to keep them in it.

Take the BRAVES +0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-160) to at least keep it tied after 5.

Over/Under

The Mets are 8-2 O/U over the last 10; whereas Atlanta is 4-6. The wind is blowing straight out to center field at 6 mph. These two pitchers faced each other Aug. 16, and it went Under, actually by the same 3-2 score predicted here.

However, I’d prefer to pass on the total and take BRAVES OVER 2.5 TOTAL RUNS (-125) in a safer setting.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-5

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 3

Money line

The Dodgers are the best team in the majors and have baseball’s best home winning percentage. The Rockies have the worst road record in MLB (24-51).

The Rockies have lost 8 of Kuhl’s last 9 starts and Kershaw is having one of his best stretches of the season.

All signs point to a Dodgers win, but the price of the money line is way too expensive for any action. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

With the 2.5-run spread, this is a more difficult pick to make. However, 14 of the Dodgers’ last 17 wins have been by at least 3 runs.

Eight of the Rockies’ last 9 losses have been by 3 or more runs.

Take the DODGERS -2.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Nine of the 13 games the Dodgers and Rockies have played this season have had 8 or more total runs.

The Rockies have had 4 of their last 5 hit 8 or more total runs.

Seven of Kershaw’s last 9 starts have had 8 or more runs.

I LEAN OVER 7.5 (-122).

Season series: First meeting of the season

The White Sox snapped an 8-game skid with a 4-3 win at the Minnesota Twins Thursday. They have been eliminated from the postseason.

The Padres close out the season with 6 more games at home. They lost 2 of 3 contests to the Los Angeles Dodgers to start their 9-game homestand but are still 8-4 in their last 12 games and hold the 2nd NL wild-card berth.

White Sox at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, White Sox 2

Money line

PASS.

Darvish is on a roll, the Padres have won 8 of their last 12 games and the White Sox just snapped an 8-game losing streak.

Martin has taken all his losses as a starter this season and San Diego is 41-34 at home.

One would expect the Padres to win but the price doesn’t make it worth any action on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread

The last 5 starts for Darvish have been wins by at least 2 runs. The Padres do have the majors’ worst home ATS record at 26-49, tied with the White Sox, but the White Sox lost all 8 games in their losing streak by multiple runs.

Take the PADRES -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

Six of the White Sox’s last 10 games have had 8 or more runs.

Three of the Padres’ last 7 games have had 8 or more total runs.

There have been 8 or more total runs in 3 of Darvish’s last 5 starts.

Michigan at Iowa odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Michigan Wolverines at Iowa Hawkeyes odds and lines, with NCAA expert picks and predictions.

The Michigan Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) and Iowa Hawkeyes (3-1, 1-0) clash in Iowa City Saturday. Kickoff at Kinnick Stadium is scheduled for noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Michigan vs. Iowa odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Michigan defeated Maryland 34-27 last Saturday. RB Blake Corum rambled for 243 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Corum is the lead edge of a Wolverine attack that has already produced 17 TD on the ground. UM has run for 230 yards or more in 3 of its 4 games and is averaging a robust 6.0 yards per attempt.

The Hawkeyes got by Rutgers in a defensive battle last week. Iowa won 27-10, with its defense scoring 2 of its 3 touchdowns. The Hawkeyes have allowed just 5.8 points and 236.3 yards per game through 4 contests.

These two programs clashed in the 2021 Big Ten Championship Game, and Michigan bludgeoned Iowa 42-3 (Dec. 4). The Wolverines have held the Hawkeyes without a touchdown in their last 2 meetings.

Michigan is No. 4 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Michigan at Iowa picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 27, Iowa 21

Money line

True odds are lost in the juice here. However, the midweek buy-in here has been perhaps a bit too tilted toward the visitors who will be in a Kinnick Stadium which has seen many a top-10 upset over the years.

Back the Hawkeyes if the tag hits +415 for the value. Otherwise, PASS.

Against the spread

Michigan played a bottom-of-the-barrel group-of-5 slate over its first 3 games and then had Maryland at home last week. It’s in a tough environment contest for the first time this season, and the Wolverines may well be talented enough to take the offensively-challenged Hawkeyes by 14 to 20 points.

However, Iowa’s defense could very well add to some 1st-half problems for UM — and enough so to make the home side the lean here.

It’s a small lean: but consider a partial-unit play on IOWA +10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Michigan’s offense cranked out a combined 107 points in Week 1 and 2 while converting just 5-of-16 3rd downs. That offense was slowed a bit in its first real-speed, big-boy tackle football game last week vs. Maryland. Look for adjustments and a relative-to-the-competition strong performance by the UM offense Saturday.

Both these teams allow plenty of havoc and can convert on special teams. Look for some short-field scores and maybe defensive touchdowns.

It all makes for enough back-and-forth for there to be a moderate amount of value on the OVER 42.5 (-110).

The Baltimore Orioles (80-76) and New York Yankees (96-59) meet Friday night at 7:05 p.m. ET to open a 3-game series at Yankee Stadium. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: New York leads 11-5

Baltimore has lost 3 straight games and 5 of its last 6. Orioles pitching has been tagged with a 6.96 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over that stretch. Baltimore is 1-3 on a current road trip that opened at the Boston Red Sox. The Orioles had been exceptional away from home through much of the late summer (17-12 across 29 road games from July 12-Sept. 18).

The Yankees had struggled for much of the second half until they started playing better ball earlier in September. The Yanks are 9-1 over their last 10 games and are 17-5 since Sept. 4. At Yankee Stadium, New York is 8-0 with a .904 OPS over its last 8 games.

Orioles at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Orioles 4

Money line

The Orioles are a case of prices maturing and being out too far over talent. That makes for good profits in September fading. However, that’s not the case here with this juice-drowned pricing: PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

New York plays at home with the benefit of an off day, while Baltimore played at Boston Thursday. But there is also a bit of fade-German-and-Yankee-pitching in the equation as well.

In a high-scoring environment, NEW YORK -1.5 (+122) is likely the side with the most value.

Over/Under

The forecast calls for a cool evening in the Bronx and a light breeze helping the hurlers, but the lean for this 1st game of the series is on the OVER 7.5 (-120).

Both bullpens are in fade territory: they carry expected ERA figures higher than what has been presented to the world over the last 5 months. The Yankees ‘pen is sort of coming together late with pitchers returning from injury. A clunker inning here and there would be no surprise. German’s lack of work lately adds some risk to the run-prevention side of the equation.

Add in the surging New York offense, and shading the contest to get to a double-digit run total makes sense. In the last 7 Baltimore-New York games, the winning club has scored 6 runs or more 6 times and the Over is 36-17 in the last 53 meetings at Yankee Stadium.

Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Broncos (2-1) and Las Vegas Raiders (0-3) play a Week 4 matchup Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Broncos vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson finished with just 184 passing yards and no TDs in an 11-10 win at home vs. the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. RB Melvin Gordon III made up for his 2 fumbles earlier in the game with a 1-yard TD run late in the 4th quarter to give the Broncos their first lead of the night. Denver has allowed just 36 points in its first 3 games.

Las Vegas remained winless after never leading in a 24-22 loss at the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. The Raiders are off to their worst start since 2018 when they started 0-3 and won their first game in Week 4 vs. the Cleveland Browns.

Las Vegas has closed as the money line favorite in its last 2 games.

Broncos at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 27, Broncos 17

Money line

BET RAIDERS (-135).

The Raiders are desperate for a win and have a great opportunity Sunday vs. a Broncos team that is a mess offensively. Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett and Wilson do not seem to be on the same page as the Broncos average just 14.3 points per game. The Raiders should get their first win of the season Sunday.

Against the spread

BET RAIDERS -2.5 (-115).

The Raiders should cover Sunday as the Broncos continue to struggle in the red zone. Denver is ranked No. 32 in red-zone offense, converting at just 14.3%. Las Vegas should have no problem outscoring Denver’s offense and winning by more than a field goal. Lay the points.

Over/Under

PASS.

The Under has hit in all 3 of the Broncos’ games this season, but they have faced 3 bottom-10 offenses. With Las Vegas motivated to get its first win, this should be the first real challenge that Denver’s defense has had to face.

I would lean Under, but I’m staying away from this total out of fear that Denver’s defense may get overwhelmed by an extra-focused Raiders offense.

Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Guardians odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Guardians odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Kansas City Royals (63-93) will begin a 6-game series with the Cleveland Guardians (88-68) on Friday at Progressive Field at 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Royals vs. Guardians odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Guardians lead 8-5

The Royals aren’t in the playoff picture with a 63-93 record and are playing their younger players down the final stretch of the season. Kansas City has lost 4 of its last 5 games, including a 3-game sweep by the Detroit Tigers.

The Guardians have already clinched the AL Central and are locked into the No. 3 seed in the AL playoffs. Cleveland has won 9 of its last 10 games and the Guardians have won 7 straight series.

Royals at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Royals 4, Guardians 3

Money line

I’ll be taking ROYALS (+115) in this game as the Guardians have already locked up their spot in the postseason. Kansas City wants to finish the season strong and they have Singer on the mound, who has been fantastic in 2022.

The Royals have gone 8-1 in Singer’s last 9 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

While I believe the Royals should be able to win outright, I’ll PASS on the run line in this game. Kansas City’s odds are at -190 to keep the game within 2 runs, so it’s not a bet worth taking straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 RUNS (-140) appears to be the correct choice in this game, especially with the weather factors at Progressive Field. Singer shouldn’t surrender many runs while KC should be able to muster up a few runs on Civale.

The Under is 4-0 in Cleveland’s last 4 road games against a team with a winning record. Plus, the Under has hit in 5 of the last 7 meetings between the Royals and the Guardians.

Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Commanders (1-2) and Dallas Cowboys (2-1) play a Week 4 matchup Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Commanders vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Commanders QB Carson Wentz struggled against his former team in a 24-8 loss at home vs. the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. The former 2nd-overall pick was sacked 9 times and went 25-of-43 passing with 211 yards with 2 fumbles, 1 of which was lost. Washington failed to cover as a 6-point home underdog.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb made a 1-handed TD catch in the 4th quarter to help Dallas win 23-16 at the New York Giants Monday. QB Cooper Rush improved to 3-0 as a starter in his career as star QB Dak Prescott remains sidelined with an injured thumb. Rush finished with 215 yards through the air and 1 TD on 21-of-31 passing.

Commanders at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 24, Cowboys 20

Money line

BET COMMANDERS (+145).

It’s time to sell high on the Cowboys.

Rush has had a great stretch, but he’s probably not talented enough to win his first 4 career starts. The Commanders will be extra focused in this divisional matchup since they’re coming off of a bad loss Sunday and had the extra day to prep compared to the Cowboys. Dallas will be a losing leg on a lot of parlays Sunday.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS +3.5 (-122).

Take the points if Commanders ML is too risky for your liking. Washington is 6-1-1 ATS in its last 8 games after allowing 350+ total yards in its previous game. Commanders coach Ron Rivera should have his defense ready to bounce back Sunday after giving up 24 points in the first half vs. the Eagles in Week 3.

Over/Under

PASS.

Dallas’ defense has looked great this year, but it might be due for a let-down after a dominant primetime performance vs. a divisional opponent on Monday Night Football. Wentz is 7th in passing yards this season (861) and could rebound with a big game after a disappointing performance against his former team in Week 3. Dallas’ defense vs. an unpredictable Wentz makes me want to stay away from betting the total.
