Play On: Over 9.0 (10*)

Philadelphia has played 9-1 to the over in their last 10 away and there was a combined average of 13.5 runs scored per game. The Phillies will be facing Pittsburgh righthander William Crow today. Crowe has allowed an alarmingly high 8 home runs during 29 2/3 innings pitched in his last 6 starts. That’s noteworthy since Philadelphia has smashed 12 home runs over their previous 7 games. Vincent Velazquez has been horrible during his previous 4 starts while posting a 10.91 ERA and 2.04 WHIP. Velazquez has also been prone to giving up the long ball as well in 2021. That’s been especially apparent throughout those previous 4 starts when he surrendered 7 home runs in only 15 2/3 innings of work. Velazquez has pitched 2-0 to the over during his career at PNC Park in Pittsburgh with a hefty 7.15 ERA and 1.82 WHIP. The Phillies bullpen has a lofty 1.67 WHIP throughout its last 7 games, and they’ve been a disaster for a better part of the past 2 seasons.

William Crowe has amassed a large 7.57 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 8 starts at night this season. The Pirates are coming off being swept in a 3-game series versus Milwaukee who has arguably the best pitching staff in baseball. Pittsburgh went just 13-for-91 (.143 BA) in that 3-game set. However, the Pirates have played 9-0 to the over this season following a 3-game stretch in which they recorded a team batting average of .175 or worse. The Pirates have also played 6-0-1 to the over during its last 7 at home when the total was 9.0 or greater and there were a combined 14.0 runs scored per game. Bet on the over for a 10* Top Play wager.
