Reds vs. Pirates Betting Prediction | Today’s MLB Pick

Reds vs. Pirates Odds, Prediction

*MLB odds as of Monday morning

Rookie phenom Paul Skenes is back on the mound tonight as the Pittsburgh Pirates host the Cincinnati Reds.

Both teams sport identical 34-37 records, though the Pirates are massive -200 favorites behind Skenes on Monday night.

Unsurprisingly, a stunning 87% of moneyline tickets are on Pittsburgh to this point, but is that the smartest MLB pick for Reds vs. Pirates tonight?

The market’s sharpest MLB bettors are weighing in.

Let’s take a look.

Reds vs. Pirates Pick

The Reds vs. Pirates over/under is sitting at 8 as of the time of writing.

However, wiseguys have already taken a noticeable position on the under – so much so that oddsmakers have had no choice but to react.

This total initially opened at 8.5 before three separate steam moves hit the under, explaining why the number has dipped a half-run thus far.

Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

And while this line has settled at 8 at most shops, the vig does vary from book to book.

For example, both Caesars and BetMGM are offering under 8 at -115 while FanDuel is five cents better at -110, so, as always, be sure to shop for the best price before locking in any bet.
