Not too many would have believed that one of these teams would be in the top 10 in pitching as we enter the third week of May. The fact is that they are both in the top 4. The problem is that both offenses are in the bottom third of the league, so we are in for a pitcher's duel here tonight in Washington. Gio Gonzalez has allowed a total of 5 runs in his last six starts, and he squares-off against a rejuvenated Eric Bedard. Bedard has been back in form before injuries tabled his career, and owns a 2.57 ERA coming into this one. The Pirates are now 18-5-3 to the UNDER as a dog of +110 to +150, while Washington comes in at 35-16-1 to the UNDER in their last 52 vs. a left-hander, where they struggle even more. Play the UNDER.
