Well, it's happening homies. The underdogs are winning. That'd be just fine here. I want a late-night play. Something about rewatching the Met Gala the missus mentioned just shot me straight to the "gotta work" card. Gosh I love my job. Just gets me out of everything a la Larry David. I frankly don't get why the Giants are (slight) home dogs with Robbie Ray opposed by the "Big Ragu" Carmen Mlodzinski. But I'll take it even at this number. Gifts are gifts.

The last time the Pirates were in San Francisco, they swept the Giants three straight, and they come in today winning five of their last six games. The Giants have won once in their last nine games, in which they've averaged only two runs per game. In the Giants last 12 games, they've hit only nine home runs, second to last to the Rangers seven homers. The Giants have lost three of Robbie Ray's last four starts where they scored only one combined run in the three losses. Pirates to win.

Caesar’s / MGM. This is a high outs line for Emmet Sheehan, who has only finished six innings in four of his six starts. Sheehan does have a whiff-inducing arsenal, which leads to higher pitch counts: 4.04 pitches per plate appearance is 26th highest amongst 136 qualifiers. And he has been hit relatively hard, with a 5.23 ERA (4.32 xERA), 41% hard hit rate, .259 xBA. He’ll face the Braves who’ve been one of the top hitting teams all season against righties: .791 OPS, 119 wRC+, .348 wOBA. I’d bet this down to under 16.5 outs for a full unit.

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves will aim to go 4 and 0 in the playoffs at home this year. For Edwards this is closer to his original timeline of return, as he was expected to comeback in game three or four. Don’t be surprised if he looks closer to 100 percent tonight, and has a bump in minutes played. Edwards has averaged 15 points in his limited role. Expect a showcase game from Edwards as he clears his adjusted points prop.
