Schule's MLB MERCHANT of DEATH - **EARLY START**
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia,
05/12/2015 3:05 PM, Score: 7 - 2
Money Line: -153.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Win
Money Line: -153.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Bucs have turned things around after a terrible start to the season, and they come into tonight's game against the Phillies as winners of four of their last five. They look good to extend that run here in Philly against a light hitting Phillies team.
A.J. Burnett will toe the slab for the Pirates, and he's having a fine season for Pittsburgh. Burnett (1-1, 1.66 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits over seven innings in a win over Cincinnati his last time out. He's given the Pirates five consecutive quality starts, and hasn't given up more than two runs in any of his six appearances this season.
The Phillies hand the ball to Sean O'Sullivan, who is still in search of his first victory of the season. O'Sullivan (0-1, 4.91 ERA) allowed four runs on five hits and a pair of walks over five innings in a loss to Washington his last time out. The 27 year old owns a career ERA of 5.87, and there's little reason to be optimistic about his chances tonight.
Philly ranks dead last in the major leagues with just 94 runs scored.
Take PIT.
