Barry Zito is off of a 9-inning shutout in his 2012 debut. Charlie Morton had his best year last season at 10-10 with a 3.83 ERA. One of the highlights of his season was a 5-0 gem vs. guess who? The San Francisco Giants. This game is likely to play low with pitchers in the zone, and weak offenses. Morton has led the Pirates to a 5-1 mark the last six starts. The Giants are a woeful 2-11 when Zito takes the ball with a total of 7 to 8.5, and they are also just 6-13 in his last 19 starts overall. The Pirates are 40-19-7 to the UNDER when facing a pitcher with a WHIP of less than 1.15, as well as 6-0 to the UNDER when Morton takes the hill vs. an opponent that allowed 2 or less in their last game. The Giants have turned in a 21-5 mark to the UNDER in their last 26 vs. a team with a road winning percentage less than .400. The last seven meetings have produced six UNDERs in this series. Play Pittsburgh and the UNDER.
