MLB Baseball Sportsbook Odds: Pirates vs. Cardinals Games Prediction

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals on Friday through Sunday!

In their epic 2013 season in which they finally ended a playoff
drought that went all the way back to 1992 the Pittsburgh Pirates were
one of the top money makers on the MLB betting board and were pure gold
on the run line as well but now the question handicappers face is if the
Bucs can maintain that level of profitability for a second consecutive
season now that the betting public considers them a post season
contender. The defending National League champion St. Louis Cardinals
were also a big money maker last year and carry the reputation for
excellence than can lead to public attention and overlays on the betting
board.


The St. Louis Cardinals will host the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 3 game
weekend series that will run at Busch Stadium Friday through Sunday.
Game time on Friday and Saturday night is set for 7:05 PM ET with the
Sunday night game set for 8 PM ET with coverage on ESPN. Friday?s game
can be seen on MLBN and Saturday?s game will be televised by FOX Sports
1.

Bo Bucks for Bucs

The Pittsburgh Pirates were off to a sluggish start with the MLB Lines
as they lost 10 out of their first 18 games and saw their vaunted
pitching staff rank 19th in Major League Baseball for earned run
average. The St. Louis Cardinals were in good form with 11 wins in their
first 18 games as their pitching staff ranked 8th for earned run
average.

The Matchup and Pick!

Heading into this series the St. Louis Cardinals had won 10 out of
their last 18 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates with just 6 out of the
last 20 meetings between the Pirates and Cardinals going under the
total. The St. Louis Cardinals have won 10 out of their last 16 home
games against the Pittsburgh Pirates with just 3 out of the last 20
games at Busch Stadium between the Pirates and Cardinals going under the
total. Based on that head to head record we?ll call for the St. Louis Cardinals and over the total!

NBA Betting Online – No Bull for Chicago Defense and Playoff Run

No Bull for Chicago Defense and Playoff Run

The Chicago Bulls were coming off a season in which the made the
second round of the playoffs despite missing PG Derrick Rose for the
entire season and were looking forward to making a deeper run with Rose
on board but he was again injured for the entire season after just a few
games which has again forced the Chicago Bulls to rely on defense for
success both on the hardwood and at the betting window. The Bulls may
not be the most exciting team to watch but nobody works harder as
evidenced by their hard fought playoff series with the Miami Heat last
year in which they may have lost but left it all on the floor and made
Miami earn each of their wins.

Team Extreme

The Bulls were a favorite NBA Betting commodity for “undertakers” as they ranked last for scoring offense and best for scoring defense.

Coming Up

The Chicago Bulls will host the Portland Trailblazers on Friday,
March 28 before a home and home series with the Boston Celtics as they
will be at Boston on Sunday, March 30th and then host the Celtics on
Monday, March 31st before hitting the road for a game at the Atlanta
Hawks on Wednesday, April 2.

Handicapper’s Notebook

The Chicago Bulls have seen their home value increase considerably
after struggling for the first 3 months of the season as they have paid
out in 10 out of their last 14 games at home with 4 out of their last 7
home games going under the total. As good as they have been at home
recently, the Bulls have been a strong road value for the long term and
have 14 payouts in their last 20 away tilts with 5 out of their last 9
away games going over the total. The Bulls have also shown increased
value as a favorite with an even 5-5 split on over under totals in their
last 10 games as a favorite. The Bulls have come away with the money in
10 out of their last 14 games as a dog with 14 out of their last 20
games as a dog going under the total.

NBA Lines Odds — Miami Heat Have a Serious Shot at Three-peat!

Miami Heat Have a Serious Shot at Three-peat!

The Miami Heat are coming off back to back NBA world
championships and are showing little evidence that they are going to go
away any time soon. While they are getting a run for their money by the
Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference race for the top seed in the
playoffs there is little doubt that they will be the favorites on the
NBA betting board to win it all again come the month of June.

Coming Up

The Miami Heat are at the Detroit Pistons On Friday, March 28th with a
game at the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, March 29th. They then open a 5
game home stand with a matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Monday,
March 31st.

Handicapper’s Notebook

The Miami Heat are always a potential overlay on the NBA betting
board, especially at home, as the 2 time defending world champions and
with the most recognizable player in the game with LeBron James. When
you couple that with the general public always preferring the power home
team and you have the recipe for costly overlays on the board and
handicappers must be vigilant about value assessments with teams such as
Miami. The Heat have paid out in just 7 out of their last 19 home games
with 5 out of their last 8 home games going over the total. Miami has
been a better success on the road as the general betting public is less
enamored with taking away teams, regardless of how good that they are,
and have paid out in 8 out of their last 12 away games as 5 out of their
last 9 away games have gone under the total. The Miami Heat have seen
improved board value as a favorite recently with just 3 losses against
the spread in their last 11 games as a chalk. One of the best plays in
sports on any betting board is a power dog and Miami has certainly
excelled in that role with 11 payouts in their last 16 games as a dog
with 7 out of their last 11 games as a dog going over the total.
