Transcript

00:00I hate to be the guy who always cries that the sky is falling,

00:04but it feels like the sky might actually be falling for the Pirates.

00:10Michael King comes to town with the Padres or the Padres are already in town.

00:13I should say but Michael King will be on the mound.

00:16He's been very good this year and given how the Pirates offense has struggled.

00:21This is an opportunity.

00:23If you'd like to you could get King laying the run line.

00:27The Padres laying the run line at plus 105.

00:30I would probably go instead with some sort of Michael King bet

00:34whether it's earned runs.

00:38It's set at one and a half.

00:39That's probably too low.

00:41Maybe you want to go strikeouts at six and a half.

00:43You want to take the over at plus 120.

00:45It's a good return because again, the Pirates have struggled at the plate lately,

00:50but find an angle that you like on Michael King and the Padres.

00:56Pitcher outs is set at 17 and a half.

00:59That's probably a pretty good number, but the over is really juicy at minus 210.

01:04If you can find an alt number maybe to get a better return.

01:07Michael King against the Pirates tonight in Pittsburgh.

01:10Again, I hate to cry the sky is falling Corey,

01:13but it feels like the Pirates have hit the skid

01:15and are having a very hard time steering into the skid

01:19against these fellow NL wildcard contenders teams like the Diamondbacks and the Padres.
