 Best Bets: Thursday, April 27

Dodgers @ Pirates | 10:35 AM CST | MLB Network

Bet Dodgers Pirates Play
Moneyline -160 +130 BetOnline logo
F5 -155 +129 BetOnline logo
Total  Over 7.5 (-110) Under 7.5 (-110) BetOnline logo

 

This is certainly an early start for the Dodgers being on the East Coast and Julio Urias has been notoriously good in day games at Dodgers Stadium. But he did actually take his first-day game loss last time out, and he’s been right around .500 on the road in day games. But this is more about the Pirates and specifically Mitch Keller.  The Pirates have been excellent as has Keller.

The Pirates come in at 17-8 and they’ve yet to lose a game Keller has started. And he continues to get better as the season goes on. The 27-year-old has gone at least six innings in each of his last four starts punching out seven in two of those four starts. The Dodgers have been very pedestrian on the road sitting at 7-6 as visitors this year. We love the value with the early start and in the pitching matchup. Go Bucs.

THE PICK: Pirates ML  (+130)

 

 

 

Cardinals @ Giants| 1:45 PM CST | MLB Network

Bet Cardinals Giants Play
Moneyline +125 -145 BetOnline logo
Run Line +1.5 (-167) -1.5 (+135) BetOnline logo
Total  Over 8.5 (-110) Under 8.5 (-110) BetOnline logo

 

The Cardinals have been a very big early disappointment. It’s been a mix of their offense not showing up on most nights as well as their starting pitching being a huge letdown. No one in the rotation has struggled more than ace Miles Mikolas who enters Thursday with a brutal 7.46 era in 25.1 innings pitched. There is no real way to sugarcoat it, Mikolas has been super hittable and gives ups a ton of hard contact so far. Today they face another ace that has struggled a bit but seems to be righting the ship.

Logan Webb enters today’s contest with a 4.41 era in 30 innings pitched and a surprising 1-4 record. He recorded his first win in his last start with a dominating performance over the Mets. Webb just agreed to a 5-year $90 million extension with the Giants before his last outing, so it’s safe to assume that those talks were weighing on him to start the year. Despite the fact that Paul Goldschmidt is coming off of a 4-hit night, we’re fading the Cardinals today. He’s essentially the only one in the lineup getting it done. And Mikolas has shown zero signs of putting in a dominant start. Go, Giants.

THE PICK: Giants. ML ( -145)
