Below is a free MLB play for Friday night. You can also get awesome MLB **GAME OF THE WEEK** on Steve Merril’s Guaranteed Selections page as his RED~HOT 44-28 MLB run continues!

PITTSBURGH +1.5 -120 (Maholm/Blanton) - 7:05 pm ET #953

Statistically, the Pirates and Phillies are even offensively this season and Pittsburgh has the better starting pitcher on the mound tonight, but the oddsmakers are forced to make Philadelphia a large home favorite due to the fact they are in the middle of a heated playoff race. This now provides line value with the Pirates who fit a subset of my Underdog System this evening.

My pitcher performance ratings also predict a solid bounce-back effort from Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm who is quietly having a fantastic season. Despite allowing 5 runs in his last start, he is still in excellent current form with a 3.19 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in his past nine starts with a powerful 43-16 strikeout/walk ratio.
