Pirates -111 at home against the Rays. The line moved, the injuries are there, and I'm still taking the favorite.

The God of Odds likes the Pittsburgh Pirates moneyline at -111, and LowVig.ag is the place to hammer it at -109.

This line moved from -123 to -111 on sharp Tampa Bay money. That's the market telling you to fade the Pirates. I'm telling you to buy the dip. Pittsburgh is 12-8 overall and 7-4 at home. They're scoring 5.0 runs per game and allowing just 3.9. Their pitching staff owns a 3.16 ERA. Tampa Bay's ERA is 4.44. That's a full run and a quarter of difference. That's the ballgame.

Yes, the Pirates are 3-5 in their last five. Their last ten games show a W-L-W-W-L-W-L-W-L-W pattern. It's inconsistent, but it includes wins. The Rays' last ten is W-L-L-W-W-W-W-W-W-L. They've been hotter, but look at who they're pitching with. The Pirates' moneyline record is 82-26. That's not a typo. They win outright. A lot.

Injuries are a factor. Pittsburgh is missing Chris Devenski, Oddanier Mosqueda, and Ronny Simon. Tampa Bay is down Austin Vernon. The market overreacted to the Pirates' bullpen absences. The core of this team, and that ERA advantage, is still intact. They just handled the Rays 5-1 on April 17th.

The edge is at LowVig.ag with a -109 moneyline. That's two cents better than the -111 consensus and the best price you'll find on the Pirates. BetOnline.ag and BetUS are at -110. Pinnacle is at -111. Don't pay extra juice. Take the value with the better team.
