Gambling911.com has your Tigers vs. Pirates betting pick and DFS plays for Wednesday night.

Best Bet – OVER 7.5

DFS Best Picks – Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Josh Harrison, Alfredo Simon

The home team is 8-2 in this series but Detroit with their 7-1 record is a hard club to bet against coming into this game.

We here at Gambling911.com are still mesmerized over Miguel Cabrera going 4-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI, and three runs scored in the Tigers' 8-5 victory in Cleveland Sunday for a daily fantasy player’s dream.

Cabrera is in the lineup Wednesday night and has hit modestly well against Pirates starter Francisco Liriano (9 of 32).

Detroit C Victor Martinez is hitting .464 with seven RBIs in 28 at-bats against Liriano.

Detroit has racked up nine or more hits in all but one game this season. This does not bode well for Lirinao, who is 5-9 with a 5.82 ERA all-time versus Detroit and hasn’t had a win against them since 2011.

Tigers RHP Alfredo Simon (1-0, 5.06 ERA) is 3-4 with a 3.50 ERA all-time versus Pittsburgh.

And on the other side is Pirates 3B Josh Harrison, who has had at least one hit in 18 straight games played at home. He’s a must have on your roster today priced at just $4.6K.

The OVER is 7.5 in this game and we are all over it.
