Schule's MLB AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER - **EARLY START**
(MLB) Detroit vs. Pittsburgh, 08/08/2020 4:05 PM, Score: 11 - 5
Point Spread: 1.50 | -180.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 5* play on the Tigers +1.5.

The Steelers lost by a score of 17-14 in Pittsburgh on Friday? Oh wait, despite the score it wasn't a football game, but rather a high scoring baseball game that ended in extra innings.

It wasn't a surprise to see a close game go back and fourth, as four of the previous five meetings had been decided by one run.

Ivan Nova will return to Pittsburgh, but this time pitching for the visitors. Nova was 3-5 with a 2.99 ERA in 14 starts in Pittsburgh in 2018.

The Pirates hand the ball to Derek Holland, who is still looking for his first win. He was rocked for four runs on four hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Twins his last time out.

The Pirates might be the worst team in the Majors, and I don't think they deserve to be favored in this game.

Take DET.
