Free Picks
THE PLAY: Central Michigan -4.0 (-112)
(731) Western Michigan at (732) Central Michigan: Spread
3% Central Michigan -4.0 (-112)
Central Michigan Performance:
Current Record: The Chippewas have a record of 8-18, but they have demonstrated resilience and competitiveness.
ATS Success Since January 1: Since January 1, Central Michigan has performed well with an 8-4 ATS (67%) record.
Home Performance: At home, Central Michigan has covered in 6 straight games, registering an impressive average cover margin of 17.3 points per game.
Favoritism: They have only been favored 4 times, going 3-1 ATS in those games and a strong 6-2 ATS overall as a favorite or small underdog.
Western Michigan Performance:
Struggles in ATS Performance: The Broncos are currently on a 1-5 ATS slide, indicating difficulties in covering spreads.
Offensive and Defensive Issues: Over their last 6 games, Western Michigan’s offense is shooting just 40.8%, while their defense is allowing 51% shooting from opponents. This combination highlights their inefficiencies on both sides of the ball.
Comparison of Recent Performances: When comparing common opponents, Western has shot 43.8% and allowed 48.9%, whereas Central Michigan has shot 48.3% and allowed 46.1%.
THE PLAY: Pittsburgh Pirates OVER 78.5 wins
Pittsburgh Pirates OVER 78.5 wins
Offensive Improvements:
New Additions: The Pirates have significantly strengthened their lineup with the additions of Marcell Ozuna, Ryan O'Hearn, and Brandon Lowe. These players bring a mix of power and potential to an already developing team.
Brandon Lowe's Power: Coming off a season where he hit 31 home runs, Lowe stands out as a significant offensive weapon, suggesting he can help elevate the Pirates’ overall run production.
Ryan O'Hearn's Efficiency: O'Hearn’s best season in terms of wins above replacement (WAR) indicates his growing impact on both offense and defense, making him a valuable asset in the lineup.
Recent season: The Pirates have posted 76, 76 and 71wins the last 3 seasons so we are only asking then to improve by a handful of games.
Pitching Staff Potential:
Paul Skenes: The 23-year-old Cy Young winner leads the pitching staff, indicating that the Pirates have a top-tier arm to anchor their rotation. His presence alone can provide a considerable advantage in close games.
Ashcraft's Emerging Performance: At just 25 years old, Ashcraft’s potential to dominate, as evidenced by his solid 2.71 ERA and 1.6 WAR in limited innings last season, can add depth and reliability to the rotation.
Jared Jones' Situation: While Jones may miss the early portion of the season, his expected contributions upon return could further bolster the pitching staff and influence overall team performance.
Division Competitiveness:
The Brewers' Offseason: With the Brewers' lackluster offseason, the division may open up, allowing the Pirates a better opportunity to compete. Pittsburgh's improvements can create a more competitive environment in the division, making games against teams like Milwaukee crucial for standings and playoff considerations.
