MLB Free Premium Play 09/24: Pittsburgh Pirates @ New York Mets

  
Pittsburgh  at New York 
MLB - 903 Pittsburgh Pirates @ 904 New York Mets

(Starting Pitchers: K. McPherson vs J. Meija)


This will be McPherson's second start and he looked very good on his first start against Milwaukee, where in a tough spot for him against a top offensive team, he showed nerves of steels and allowed seven hits but just two earned runs. He will be facing the Mets tonight, who are coming from a home sweep against the Marlins, a divisional rival, so they will be on a letdown spot tonight. With McPherson showing good potential and with the surprise factor helping him, I believe he will have another quality outing tonight.

The Mets will be starting Meija, who has been terrible in the MLB, as he keeps struggling every time he has a opportunity to pitch in a MLB game. On his first start in Milwaukee, he allowed five earned runs and six hits in three innings, while having a ridiculous 0/5 K/BB ratio! The Pirates might be slumping, but they are coming from a nice win in Houston yesterday and they should have enough offense to cause problems to Meija. With McPherson also looking prone to have a good outing tonight, I see a lot of value on the Pirates and I'll be taking them in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 903 Pittsburgh Pirates ML (w/ K. McPherson) @ -105 / 1.95 on 5Dimes
