Pittsburgh Pirates - Cincinnati Reds: MLB match betting tip and bets

Current form

The day before, Pittsburgh staged not just a match at its home arena, but an exhibition performance. And if they were signing autographs after every strikeout, there would be a queue from the backend to the pitcher's mound. Paul Skance is a guy who's already playing like he doesn't have a name on his back, but a sign that says the future of MLB. Six innings — and not a drop of excitement, eight strikeouts — and all this with an ERA of 1.94. And on offense, the Pirates played as if they had decided not to lose at home anymore. Brian Reynolds immediately woke up the scoreboard with a home run, and Henry Davis added a two-point snap at the end. In general, 7:0 — and this is not about the score in chess. Although with such a salute, Pittsburgh remains at the bottom of the Central Division.

But Cincinnati is much more vague. And it's not even about the score, but about the sensations. It was as if the team had not come out to play, but just to see how others were doing it. There are hits, but to no avail. Matt McLane beat and tried, but when there's silence behind you, it's hard to assemble an orchestra by yourself. Five attempts with runners in positions and no results. Eight people remained at the bases, like forgotten passengers on the platform. And Carson Spiers, even though he tried to hold the defense, still couldn't stand the pressure — four runs in six innings and down the table again. And the wild card dreams are melting before our eyes, like a ball of ice cream under the July sun.
