10* *BLOOD-BATH* ON THE DIAMOND (+$21K BIG TICKET!)
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Chi White Sox,
Money Line: 212.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: I think the White Sox stumble here in the finale of this interleague series and after yesterday's 4-0 victory. The Pirates hand the ball to "ace" Trevor Williams (1-4, 3.70 ERA) who gave up one run over four innings in an unfortunate loss to the Indians on Thursday. Through 24.1 innings of work so far Williams sports a sharp 23:8 K:BB ratio.

The pick: Dallas Keuchel (4-2, 2.65) gets the nod for the home side and I just think that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time today. Note that Williams is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two career starts vs. the White Sox. Additionally note that the Pirates are 6-3 in their last nine Interleague games after getting shutout in their previous outing. Great value on this hungry dog to bounce back and catch Chicago complacent!

This is a 10* BLOOD-BATH ON THE DIAMOND on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
