Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Preview - July 19th
This might not seem like a game that will have a lot of betting action on it, but there is some very good value here that the casual bettor might not see. Doug Davis will be taking on Jeff Karstens, as the Brewers travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates. Neither pitcher has really shown much of anything this year, and Davis' ERA is above 7.50, which is absolutely dreadful. This will no doubt be a high scoring affair that will command a lot of runs from both teams in order for them to get the victory. Due to the likelihood of run scoring being a high priority, betsfreebets.com is taking the OVER as their free bet prediction for the Brewers vs. the Pirates.

Doug Davis' time in Major League Baseball might be running short, especially if he continues to throw as poorly as he is currently. Coming into the game, Davis has an ERA of 7.51 while only winning one game in eight starts. He has given up 55 hits in 38.1 innings pitched, which isn't going to get you very far against top-notch hitting. While the Brewers have been slumping all season, they do have the Corey Hart and Ryan Braun factor on their side. After Hart's impressive showing in Monday night's home run derby, you can foresee there being high expectations for the rest of the year. After a slow start, Prince Fielder seems to be coming around, as he is now up to a .265 average and 20 HR. The Brewers are much better offensively than they are when fielding, which is a good reason to take the OVER as the free bet in this July 19th matchup.

So far this season, Jeff Karstens has been pretty unspectacular for the Pittsburgh Pirates. With a 4.87 ERA and a 2-4 record, Karstens has to realize that he will need to produce on a much higher level if he is to help Pittsburgh get victories in the games he starts. He is part of a pitching staff that has been underwhelming, to say the least, this year, especially when you are referencing the bullpen. Besides Evan Meek and Javier Lopez, the Pirates' bullpen has been nothing short of disappointing, which is not good considering the starters for Pittsburgh have a very difficult time getting the team into the later innings with a lead. The Pirates only have one player that is in double digits as far as home runs are concerned. Garrett Jones has been very good both offensively and defensively for Pittsburgh this year, and it appears that he has a solid Major League career awaiting him. Even though they are not spectacular offensively, the Pirates' pitching staff will allow more than enough runs to makeup for it. Take the OVER as your free bet selection for the Brewers and the Pirates on Monday night.

Two last place teams in their division isn't going to garner a whole lot of attention from anyone, let alone the betting public. Rest assured, however, that there is plenty of value in sticking with the advice of betsfreebets.com and taking the OVER as your free wager winner for this particular game. It won't be pretty, but it presents a golden opportunity for you to capitalize on an easy number being offered by linesmakers.
