The Pennsylvania boys are going at it today on July 28! We have the Philadelphia Phillies facing off against the Pittsburgh Pirates at 7:05pm EST. This game is at PNC park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I go through my top bets, picks and predictions for this MLB matchup. I even have some player prop bets.

The Phillies are coming off a huge series against the Braves. It was a sweep! Kyle Gibson led the Phillies to victory in their final game against the Braves on July 27. He pitched six innings and gave up two earned runs. Gibson record four strikeouts in this outing.

They’ll look to stick to their winning ways on Thursday, July 28 against the Pirates. Philadelphia is now in arms reach of a Wild Card spot. They’re just half a game back in the National League.

Pittsburgh, on the other hand, is coming off a 2 game series against the Chicago Cubs. They lost both games, putting up only four total runs. They look to bounce back against their in state rival.

Phillies vs Pirates Moneyline Odds

The Phillies are best offered at -180 odds on theScore Bet, which was recently acquired. The Pirates have the best price on SuperBook sportsbook at +170 moneyline odds.

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler is scheduled to start today for the Phillies. He’s had a solid season thus far, boasting a 2.78 ERA. He’ll look to continue his strong season against the struggling Pirates.

Zach Thompson is set to take the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Zach Thompson is 3-7 on the season with a 4.64 ERA. He allowed 7 runs against Miami in his last outing. He won’t have to face the Phillies star player, Bryce Harper, who is still recovering from thumb surgery.

However, Thompson will have to deal with Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins, who have both provided plenty of offense for the Phillies this season. The Phillies are the ranked #7 in the MLB in terms of offensive performance, averaging 4.61 runs per game.

I would lean to bet the under in this game. I think the Phillies will get the job done against the Pirates, but I have no interest in betting them at -180 moneyline odds. Their -1.5 run line is -110 on most sportsbooks as well, and I found some value on DraftKings sportsbook.

My first MLB bet for this game is the Phillies -1.5 run line at +100 odds on DraftKings. I love this play at plus money. I put 1 unit on the Phillies run line for today.

The play I have for today is a player prop. I combined my MLB prop bet for Phillies vs Pirates with a tennis betting pick. Both of my bets are on PrizePicks, which is a DFS platform. On PrizePicks, you can only play parlays – 2 pick, 3 pick, 4 pick, etc. There are no straight bets on this DFS platform.

I think there’s a lot of value in the pitching prop bet of Zack Wheeler under 6.5 strikeouts. Pittsburgh doesn’t have a great offense, but I think that Wheeler’s strikeout line should be closer to an over/under of 5.5. He’s gone under 6.5 strikeouts in his past four outings, and I really like the value in this play.
