Pittsburgh +210 over Arizona

9:40 PM EST. Tyler Beede (RHP - PIT) goes for the Pirates today but truth be told this play has little to do with him. The Buccos could send out a hay bale in a yellow sash and we’d still be all over this game. Nevertheless, Tyler Beede is a former first-round pick who will get a fresh start in a new organization. Before undergoing TJ surgery in March 2020, Beede's skills soared late in 2019 as his command sub-indicators blossomed. If he gets whacked, so be it but he does throw 97 MPH with movement.

When was the last time the Diamondbacks were favored in this range? 2001? Well, we can’t help ourselves, so we had to look it up. What we discovered is that not this season, not last season, not even 2020 did one have to pay such a price to back the Snakes. No, we had to go back to July 22, 2019 (which seems like three lifetimes ago) to find Arizona v Baltimore, Robbie Ray v Aaron Brooks, Arizona -243. While we're thankful we didn’t have to go back decades to get our answer, we hope you take our point. This is unfamiliar territory for these Snakes.

Zac Gallen (RHP - AZ) is good, but he’s not Randy Johnson or Curt Schilling. Hell, he’s not even 2019 Robbie Ray. Gallen got the win last time out against the hapless Reds, but it wasn’t pretty. Three runs on six hits over 5.2 innings with three walks and he hit a batter. A further look at Gallen shows his xERA is higher than his surface number, his strikeout rate is down to a career-low 8.57 K/9 from 10.31 K/9 in 2021. Zac Gallen faced the Pirates earlier this season on the road and that start resulted in a disappointing disaster in a pitcher frienly environment. Of course the Pirates can win.
