There’s another full slate on the MLB board today. Many games are in the afternoon, but there are still some later games to attack. We asked the AI Model for its favorite bets of the night, and it returned three. Here’s one of three bets to consider at top-rated sportsbooks.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Wednesday, September 18, 2024 – 07:45 PM ET at Busch Stadium
Our AI Model believes the Pirates will upset the Cardinals on the road, 4.6-4.4. With that, there’s value on the Pirates, who are +162 underdogs. Let’s ride the dog!
Mlodzinski For The Win
Carmen Mlodzinski will get the start for the Pirates tonight. He’s a right-handed starter and has held his first 186 batters to a .103 ISO and wOBA of .279. He can get a high rate of grounders and limit line drives. It’s what makes him so good.
Meanwhile, he’ll face a Cardinals lineup that has hit just a .129 ISO against righties over the last month. We certainly don’t have to worry about many extra-base hits from the Cardinals early in this game.
Where Are The Lefties At?
The Pirates will face Sonny Gray of the Cardinals. Gray is known as the ace for the Cardinals, but he’s allowed a .275 ISO to his last 55 lefties.
The Pirates’ lefties have combined to hit a .161 ISO against righties, and Bryan Reynolds, Rowdy Tellez, and Oneil Cruz should find success against Gray.
The Pick
Our AI Model likes the upset. I can see it happening, too. Take the Pirates at +162.
