About Last Night

Another strong YRFI/NRFI night for Pickswise
Our YRFI/NRFI best bets have been red-hot all season long and that continued on Monday as we went 2-0 with our best bets, taking expert Kyle Lupas’ record to 21-11 this season. We also went 7-3 on our picks for each game last night. Meanwhile, the Angels stocked up at the trade deadline by acquiring Lucas Giolito, CJ Cron and Randal Grichuk, and those new additions helped beat baseball’s best team as Los Angeles took down the Atlanta Braves 4-1.

Best Bet of the Day 

MLB: Detroit Tigers ML over Pittsburgh Pirates (+105)
7:05 pm ET

The Detroit Tigers will be facing off against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of their series on Tuesday night. Pitching for the Tigers will be Matt Manning, who has a 3-2 record with a 4.32 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. One of his biggest weaknesses is giving up the long ball, but he gets a Pirates lineup that ranks 24th in the MLB for home runs hit. In the 7 starts (24 innings) that Manning has pitched in without allowing a home run, he has put together a 2.52 ERA. Coming to the mound for the Pirates will be Johan Oviedo, who has a 4-11 record with a 4.60 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. Check out our full Tigers vs Pirates predictions.
