Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 953 Pittsburgh Pirates ML (w/ W. Rodriguez) @ -107 / 1.93 on 5Dimes

MLB - 955 Milwaukee Brewers @ 956 Cincinnati Reds

(Starting Pitchers: Y. Gallardo vs T. Cingrani)

***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***

The Reds will start Tony Cingrani, who has been great this season with a 33/5 K/BB ratio over 24 innings. He is a good prospect, but he is still quite raw with 85% of his pitches being fast balls. He is coming from facing Miami (#24 vs LHP), the Cubs twice (#14 vs LHP) and Washington (#30 vs LHP), but he will now face the Brewers, who are a top hitting team against LH pitchers by being #2 in the league. As usual, Milwaukee's lineup will be full of RH batters ready to pound their opponent's LH pitcher.

1. Norichika Aoki (L) RF

2. Jean Segura (R) SS

3. Ryan Braun (R) LF

4. Aramis Ramirez (R) 3B

5. Jonathan Lucroy (R) C

6. Carlos Gomez (R) CF

7. Rickie Weeks (R) 2B

8. Yuniesky Betancourt (R) 1B

9. Yovani Gallardo (R) P

Yovani Gallardo will start for the Brewers tonight and he has been a bit unlucky this season with a 4.50 ERA, even though he has a 3.83 FIP and 3.97 xFIP. I believe he will be decent tonight against the Reds, who have been quite inconsistent this season with just .227 BA over their last 10 games. With Gallardo being decent tonight and with Cingrani surely struggling against a great hitting team like Milwaukee, I see good value on the Brewers tonight as underdogs and so, I'll take it on a Double Dime Play!
