<p>The Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies lock horns Thursday, September 23, 2021, to open a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, so here’s the best betting pick for this National League showdown along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>Back on the first day of August, the Phillies dismantled the Pirates 15-4 as -152 road favorites to avoid a sweep in a three-game set at PNC Park. This time around, the Phillies are heavy -235 moneyline favorites with a total of 8.5 runs, while the Bucs sit at +212.</p>



<h2><strong>The Pirates continue to upset the odds &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Pittsburgh Pirates are coming off a 6-2 road victory over the Cincinnati Reds this past Tuesday, stopping a two-game slide and improving to 57-94 on the season. Their Wednesday clash at Great American Ball Park was postponed due to bad weather, so the Bucs continue their ten-game road trip hoping to stay on the right track.</p>



<p>Over the last couple of weeks, the Pirates have gone 7-5, scoring 52 runs on a .245/.324/.369 triple-slash in the process. On the pitching side of things, they’ve registered a 4.29 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and a .251 batting average against.</p>



<p>Wil Crowe was expected to take the mound Thursday in Philadelphia, but the Bucs decided to go for a bullpen day. Connor Overton will get the starting call, his second since joining Pittsburgh earlier this month. In three appearances with the Bucs, the 28-year-old righty has allowed just a couple of hits and one walk while punching out five across five innings of work. &nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Phillies are in a must-win situation</strong></h2>



<p>The Philadelphia Phillies improved to 77-74 on the season following a 3-2 home win to Baltimore in ten innings this past Tuesday (Wednesday’s closer against the O’s has been excluded from the analysis). It was another disappointing performance on the heels of a 2-0 defeat to the Orioles in Monday’s opener of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park, but the Phillies somehow managed to escape with a huge win.</p>



<p>Philadelphia remained three games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. Over their last 13 games, the Phillies have gone 6-7 while scoring 58 runs on a .242/.320/.406 slash line and posting a 4.27 ERA.</p>



<p>Aaron Nola (8-8; 4.48 ERA) will toe the slab Thursday and get the Pirates for the second time this season. He took a no-decision on July 31, tossing six frames of a two-run ball in a 3-2 defeat on the road. The 28-year-old righty hasn’t been sharped so far this season, and over his previous four starts in September, Nola has posted a 5.85 ERA and 2.71 FIP, allowing a .383 BABIP to his opponents.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Pittsburgh:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-11 in the last 16 games against Philadelphia</li></ul>



<p><strong>Philadelphia:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-2 in the last seven games overall &nbsp;</li><li>6-1 in the last seven home games against Pittsburgh &nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-pittsburgh-pirates-vs-philadelphia-phillies-pick"><strong>Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Connor Overton has tossed 58.2 innings in Triple-A through seven starts and 15 relief appearances this season. He won’t last for long, while the Pirates bullpen has registered a solid 3.45 ERA over the last weeks. However, the Bucs’ relievers have also recorded a mediocre 4.69 FIP while surrendering 1.35 home runs and 3.60 walks per nine frames.</p>



<p>On the other side, the Phillies bullpen has been terrible in the past two weeks, tallying a 6.43 ERA and 5.94 FIP. The hosts will need a strong display from Aaron Nola, who’s bounced back last time out, allowing just one earned run across 5.2 innings of work in a 5-3 win at the Mets. The current Pirates are slashing just .157/.238/.282 in 48 at-bats against Nola, so I’m backing the Phillies to win and cover on the back on their offense.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 at -110 &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The last meeting between the Pirates and Phillies saw 19 runs in total, while four of their previous six encounters produced nine or more, so I’m going with the over. The Bucs have improved offensively over the last few weeks, and the Phillies bullpen will have a tall task even if Aaron Nola stays on the mound for six innings.</p>



<p>On the other side, the Phillies just have to hit on the Bucs’ bullpen day. That’s the only way they’ll grab a win and stay alive in the playoff chase.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 8.5 runs at -115 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The MLB betting action goes on Sunday, April 10, 2022, with a full 15-game card, including the NL Central showdown at Wrigley Field in Chicago, so we bring you the best Brewers vs. Cubs betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, Milwaukee is a -140 moneyline favorite. The Cubs, who sit at +130, hope they can sweep the Cubs in a three-game home series. Chicago beat Milwaukee 5-4 as a +165 underdog in the opener and 9-0 as a +145 out-of-towner in the middle contest.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Cubs routed the Brewers on the back of their pitching staff                  </h2>



<p>After surrendering ten hits on Opening Day, the Cubs allowed the Brewers only four on Saturday afternoon. Justin Steele yielded all four through five scoreless innings while recording his fifth career victory in the majors.</p>



<p>On the other side of the ball, Patrick Wisdom, Ian Happ, and Seiya Suzuki combined for seven RBIs, while Frank Schwindel went 2-for-4 with a walk. Schwindel was 0-for-4 in the opener, but Happ had three hits and a couple of RBIs, and Nico Hoerner smacked a two-run homer to give the Cubs a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth.</p>



<p>Marcus Stroman will toe the rubber Sunday and make his first start for the Cubs after signing a three-year deal in December. In 33 starts with the Mets this past season, the 30-year-old righty recorded ten wins and 13 losses along with a strong 3.02 ERA, 3.49 FIP, 1.14 WHIP, and 158/44 K/BB ratio across 179 innings of work.</p>



<h2>The Brewers fell apart on Saturday          </h2>



<p>The Milwaukee Brewers had an awful day in the office in the middle clash of the opening series. While their lineup went scoreless, Brandon Woodruff got pounded for seven earned runs on six hits and three free passes in just 3.2 frames.</p>



<p>Back on Opening Day, Corbin Burnes surrendered three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four. Christian Yelich went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, while Andrew McCutchen, Rowdy Tellez, and Willy Adames accounted for a couple of hits each.</p>



<p>Freddy Peralta will toe the slab Sunday at Wrigley Field. The 25-year-old right-hander is coming off an excellent 2021 campaign. Peralta went 10-5 in 27 starts and one relief appearance, tallying a shiny 2.81 ERA, 3.12 FIP, 0.97 WHIP, and 195/56 K/BB ratio through 144.1 innings of work.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Trends:</h2>



<p><strong>Chi Cubs:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-11 in the last 14 games against Milwaukee&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Milwaukee:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-chicago-cubs-vs-milwaukee-brewers-pick">Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers Pick</h2>



<p>The Brewers should bounce back from that awful offensive display on Saturday. On the other side of the ball, they need a strong performance from Freddy Peralta, who’s 5-1 with a 3.32 ERA in six career starts against the Cubs.</p>



<p>Last year, Peralta dominated Chicago through 26.1 frames, allowing just seven earned runs on 15 hits and 13 walks while punching out 41. I’m looking for more of the same this time around. Hopefully, the Brewers’ bats will do their job.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Milwaukee Brewers at -140&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Cubs’ pitching staff should be fired up following Saturday’s victory, while the Brewers need to prove their worth after a couple of shaky displays. I’ve already mentioned that I’m expecting a good game from Freddy Peralta, and Marcus Stroman should fare well against Milwaukee’s lineup.</p>



<p>The Brewers’ top relievers will be ready for this game, so I’m backing the under on the totals. Both starters should last for five or even six innings, and the only thing I’m worried about is the Cubs’ bullpen.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
