MLB Daily Market Wrap Up

Moving Today's Market

Pirates and Phillies open a three-games series to battle for bragging rights in Pennsylvania. The Sharps have been pounding Pittsburgh all day to the tune of four Smart Money alerts - most notably CRIS (135-132-1, +43.65 units), TradeSports (107-146-2, +9.41 units), and Canbet (41-36-0, +17.71 units). The Phillies offense has been inconsistent at times. In the last six games, Philadelphia has hit .199 and have been held to three runs or fewer in four of those six games. The Pirates send southpaw Paul Maholm (7-7, 3.95 ERA) to mound to keep those bats ice cold. Maholm struggled in his last start, allowing five runs on eight hits in six innings after surrendering more than three runs in a game only once in his previous eight starts.

This morning Pinnacle, with +22.45 units won, triggered two Steam Moves. Pinnacle took big bets on San Diego's Jake Peavy (8-7, 2.59 ERA) against the Rockies, and Atlanta Braves Jorge Campillo (6-4, 2.58 ERA) against the Diamondbacks. Campillo has been pitching like the Braves ace. He threw seven shutout innings, striking out six, against the Brewers on Sunday and is 3-0 with a 1.26 ERA in his last five starts. Atlanta will be playing spoiler down the stretch so this three-game series will give them an opportunity to continue embracing that role.
