The second half of the MLB season is in full swing after most of a week off. Monday presents us with 13 total games, two of which are a part of the Twins and White Sox doubleheader. Given the amount of baseball on tap, there’s a massive amount of betting angles to take on this slate.
Below are two bets that I am targeting for Monday.
Pittsburgh Pirates @ Arizona Diamondbacks
The pick: Pirates ML (+110, DraftKings Sportsbook)
At first glance, this game is unappealing, to say the least. But with two teams headed in completely opposite directions comes a betting edge. Over each team’s last three games respectively (through Sunday afternoon), the Pirates have averaged the eighth-most runs per game (6.33), while the Diamondbacks have averaged the second fewest (2.33). Both pitchers in this game (Chase De Jong and Caleb Smith) are rather new to the scene neither team has collectively seen even eight plate appearances against either guy but following recent trends of the offensi

Trailing 6-0 in the first inning, the Mets rallied to salvage a rugged weekend at PNC Park. The NL East leaders lost stars Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor to injuries, then dropped Saturday night’s game when closer Edwin Diaz gave up a two-out grand slam in the ninth that capped Pittsburgh’s six-run comeback.

The Pittsburgh Pirates carry a dubious distinction into Phoenix to start a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.
The Pirates became the first MLB team to win after rallying from a six-run deficit and then lose the next game after blowing a six-run lead. They came back to defeat the New York Mets 9-7 on Saturday, but then lost 7-6 to the Mets on Sunday after jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the first inning.
The loss prevented Pittsburgh from achieving its first series sweep of the season.
