00:00All of a sudden, a pretty good game, by the way, in Pittsburgh at PNC Park.
00:07The Buccos did not pull off the sweep over Philadelphia yesterday.
00:12The Phils winning 6-0 in that finale.
00:15But Pittsburgh has been playing really well as of late, victories in seven of their last
00:21nine.
00:22The Pirates now above .500 at happening this weekend for the first time since April 24th.
00:27The St. Louis Cardinals are 21-13 in the last month-plus as well.
00:34Pittsburgh a slight home favorite today, minus-126 against the Redbirds, total of 8-1⁄2.
00:39Donnie, a game that actually looks pretty good on paper and should be.
00:44Yeah, and also you're looking at some of that playoff-type atmosphere feel for the Pirates
00:49and the Cardinals here.
00:50The Pirates actually came off, even though they lost yesterday, beat the Philadelphia
00:53Phillies, the best record in Major League Baseball, jump-starting the second half.
00:56And that didn't even include Paul Skeens.
00:58Skeens isn't going to pitch today, but due to be on the mound back tomorrow, fully rested.
01:02So if you think the Pittsburgh Pirates can win today, then pick up a victory, certainly,
01:06with Skeens, or at least be in it after five innings with Skeens on the mound.
01:10That's something to look forward to.
01:11If you're looking at both of these pitchers, Pelante comes here with a 95 X-fit-minus over
01:15the past 60 days, which is pretty good, an ERA of 3.70.
01:18You take a look at Keller, a 100 X-fit-minus and a 3.04 ERA.
01:23So if I look at that total of eight-and-a-half, look, I love overs, and I love to take them.
01:27But if I'm being honest, that's a true pitcher's ballpark, 77 degrees today, light wind blowing
01:32in.
01:33I don't know if we get the nine runs.
01:34I think both of these pitchers can manage those two lineups, and I'm looking for an under
01:37today.
