ASA 10* MLB Situational Slam
(MLB) Arizona vs. Pittsburgh, 08/24/2021 7:05 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Money Line: -110.00 Arizona (Away)
Result: Loss
ACTION on pitchers. Team and situational edges clearly with the visitors in this one – #951 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Arizona Diamondbacks -110 over Pittsburgh Pirates, Tuesday at 7:05 PM ET – The Pirates got the win yesterday but were on a 3-10 run in home games before getting the rare W yesterday. Overall, Pittsburgh had lost 16 of 20 games. The Diamondbacks, though certainly having a rough season and struggling on the road overall, had won 7 of 10 games before yesterday's loss. Now, on Tuesday, Arizona is scheduled to start Madison Bumgarner and he has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since the All Star Break. Bumgarner has a 1.93 ERA in his last 7 starts! The Pirates JT Brubaker has been at the other end of the spectrum during roughly the same period of time. Brubaker is not only 4-13 on the season but he has gone 0-7 with an 8.26 ERA over his last 9 starts and he has been amazingly homer-prone! In 7 of those 9 starts Brubaker has allowed 2 or more homers! We understand it might seem hard to trust a team with such a bad road record here but they have been the better team in recent weeks without a doubt and we especially like having them off a loss here while the Pirates win over them yesterday was a rare one. In fact, Arizona had won 9 of last 10 against Pittsburgh before yesterday's defeat. We have the big pitching edge here but even taking the starting pitching out of the equation, the team edge and situational edge is squarely with the visitors in this one. We will grab the road team as a small favorite on the money line in this one and bet Arizona Diamondbacks -110
