Major League Baseball (MLB) free betting card for Friday, August 23rd

August 23^rd 2013, 6:47am, By: Johnny Houston

Check out our best free betting tip card for the Major League Baseball on Friday 23rd August2013. The "units" listed determin our tipster's confidence in the free pick, along with being a guide for your personal sports betting bankroll management. Free plays are either 1, 2 or 3 units.

Game: Pittsburgh Pirates at San Fancisco Giants
When: Friday, August 23rd at 12.10pm AEST

Starters: Jeff Locke 2.90ERA vs Matt Cain 4.35ERA - Locke has gone 5-2 on the road with a 1.81 ERA. Cain pitched well against Miami last Saturday allowing just four hits with two runs over seven innings. Cain also pitched earlier in the season to this pirates team and went six scoreless innnings and picked up the win. While this run line looks small it originally opened at 7.5 and was quickly bet down to 7.0.

7.0 is a key number in baseball total run betting. If your book is only offering 6.5 we would recommend shopping around for 7.0/7.5. It might not sound like much but long term its very important. We are leaning Pirates Outright and the Under total run score .

Bet On: Total Run Score Under 7.0 ($1.84) at Sportbet - 2 units

The theme today looks like solid starting pitchers. So with that in mind...

Other leans today include:

Atlanta Braves ($2.26) Outright Vs. St. Louis Cardinals at Sportsbet

Atlanta/St Louis Under 8.5 Total Run Score at Sportsbet

Philadelphia Phillies ($1.74) Outright Vs. Colorado Rockies at Sportsbet

Take note: The above tip is simply the author’s opinion, so bet at your own risk and always bet responsibly. Happy punting!
