With a full slate of games on the horizon, it can get difficult trying to find value. That’s why we went to the AI Model and asked for its favorite three plays. Here’s one of three plays you’ll want to consider at top-rated sportsbooks.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. San Diego Padres

Tuesday, August 13, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at Petco Park


The Pirates and Padres are expected to score 8.6 runs per our AI Model. With Bet365 featuring an 8-number, the Over is also the play in this game.

Loads Of Talent In San Diego’s Order

The San Diego Padres have hit a .159 ISO and wOBA of .338 against righties over the last month. However, the team still has the most hitters hitting a wOBA of at least .348 over the last month against righties.

They’ll face Luis L. Ortiz of the Pirates, who has given up a .282 ISO and wOBA of .338 over the last 30 days to his last 96 batters.

San Diego should have success offensively.

Can Pittsburgh Score A Couple?

The Pirates haven’t been nearly as good offensively as the Padres. That said, they’ll face a difficult pitcher in Michael King. But he’s still allowed a .278 ISO and 30.8% of line drives to his last 19 righties.

Pittsburgh should have more righties than lefties in tonight’s lineup. Therefore, the Pirates will likely sneak in a couple of runs themselves.

The Pick

After the AI Model suggested the Over, we reviewed it with the analytics and it all checked out. So, let’s grab the Over 8 for this game.
