Stephen Nover's MLB Early Game Discount Casher
(MLB) Arizona vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: 112.00 Arizona (Away)
Result: Win
Wrong favorite.

Injuries have helped cool off the Pirates. Pittsburgh has dropped four in a row. The Pirates are without outfielders Starling Marte and Corey Dickerson among others and have been held to four runs or less in nine of their last 10 games.

Arizona is 7-2 during its current road trip. The Diamondbacks also have owned the Pirates defeating them nine consecutive times in Pittsburgh.

The pitching matchup is Zack Greinke versus Jameson Taillon. I like Taillon, but Greinke's current form and history make him the better choice. Greinke is 8-4 with a 1.03 ERA in 13 lifetime appearances against the Pirates.

The Diamondbacks have won 10 of Greinke's past 14 away starts.
