Total: 6.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
1* Free Play UNDER Cardinals/Pirates.

The visitors hand the ball to Tim Cooney (0-0, 3.95 ERA) who picked up his third no-decision in a row vs. the Cubs on Tuesday, giving up one run over 5 1/3's innings, his lowest runs and hits total allowed so far this season. The rookie has done enough to earn another start and he'll have to be sharp once again throwing opposite Francisco Liriano (5-6, 2.99 ERA) who gave up two runs off four hits over six innings in a no-decision vs. the Padres on Tuesday, ultimately striking out six. Liriano has now earned a quality start in his last three outings and has given up a total of four runs in that span. Recent performance plays a part in my MLB handicapping process (especially when it comes to the starting pitching), so in this case with each starter coming in on top form, there's no doubt that the UNDER is indeed worthy of a second look in this particular match-up.
