The writer lost a bet on the Giants-Padres game yesterday. He now looks at the Pirates vs Reds game tonight and thinks betting the 'under' (total runs will be low) is a smart choice. The Pirates are exactly at .500 this season, showing up-and-down performance, which makes a low-scoring game plausible. 'Under' means betting that the combined runs scored by both teams will be less than the line set by bookmakers.
