Wednesday MLB

Early game:


Pittsburgh -130

It may seem like a stretch backing the Pirates since they are out of the chase and the Brewers need every win going down the playoff stretch. The difference is starting pitching. Bush has been beat up in his last three starts with an ERA in the double digits and he has always had a tough time at Pittsburgh. Gorzelanny has had a great year and this chalk tag is worth its price. Gorzelanny is a stunning 5-1 in day games , while Bush struggles at below .500. The Bucs have a better record in game three of a series and are still playing well at home.
