5-Unit Play: Take 960 Cardinals -140 over Pirates (8:15 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 11)
I'm backing the Cardinals with Mikolas over Musgrove on Tuesday. The Pirates have dropped four straight Joe Musgrove road starts and they're 17-43 in their last 60 on the road against teams with a winning record. Musgrove has been roughed-up in his last couple road starts, including in a 5-0 loss at St. Louis. Miles Mikolas has been phenomenal all season at home and he's on five days rest, which has produced a 4-0 run for his team when he starts. The Cards are also 10-2 when Mikolas starts against teams with a losing record and they have won 38 of the last 53 meetings with the Bucs. I'm backing the Cardinals on Tuesday. Thanks & GL!
