Pittsburgh Pirates<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
-110<\/span>O\/U: 8.5
(-110\/-110)<\/span>-110<\/span><\/div>\n

On August 26, 2024, the Pittsburgh Pirates will host the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park in what marks the first game of their series. Both teams are vying for a better record, with the Pirates sitting at 62-68 and the Cubs at 65-66. While neither team is in contention for a division title, they are battling for improved standings.<\/p>\n

Mitch Keller, projected to start for the Pirates, has had a solid season with an 11-7 record and an ERA of 3.76<\/a>. However, he has struggled with allowing hits, projected to give up 5.9 hits and 1.5 walks on average today. Keller\u2019s ability to limit walks could play a crucial role against the Cubs, who rank 5th in MLB in walks drawn. This matchup could favor Keller, as his strong control might mitigate the Cubs’ patience at the plate.<\/p>\n

On the other side, Jameson Taillon will take the mound for the Cubs. With an 8-8 record and a 3.77<\/a> ERA, Taillon has been inconsistent, but he faces a Pirates offense that ranks 28th in MLB. The Pirates have struggled significantly this season, with a batting average that also ranks 26th. The projections suggest that Taillon could exploit this weakness, especially given that the Pirates are the 5th highest team in strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the projections favor the Pirates slightly, suggesting they could score around 4.97 runs, compared to the Cubs’ projected 5.10 runs. The game is expected to be tight, with a total set at 8.5 runs. The betting markets reflect this close matchup, as both teams\u2019 moneylines are set at -110. With the Pirates\u2019 need to improve and Keller’s potential to outshine Taillon, this game could offer an intriguing dynamic for bettors looking for value.<\/p>\n

Chicago Cubs Insights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Jameson Taillon – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105\/-135)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Jameson Taillon must realize this, because he has relied on his secondary pitches a lot this year: 60.3% of the time, checking in at the 78th percentile.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Cody Bellinger – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125\/-160)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    In the past week, Cody Bellinger’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 5.7% down to 0%.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    <\/strong><\/div>\n
    Chicago’s 92.7-mph exit velocity on flyballs ranks them as the #6 group of hitters in MLB this year by this standard.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n
    • \n
      Mitch Keller – Over\/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Mitch Keller’s 2410-rpm fastball spin rate this year is in the 79th percentile among all starting pitchers.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Rowdy Tellez – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145\/-185)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      The Chicago Cubs have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Rowdy Tellez has a strong chance of never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Oneil Cruz – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105\/-135)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Oneil Cruz in the 94th percentile when it comes to his overall offensive ability.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
