Three strong MLB bets headline the September 9 slate: Pirates-Orioles Under 2.5 runs first 3 innings (Ashcraft vs Bradish), Athletics Over 2.5 runs first 5 (May struggles, A’s power at home), and Yankees Over 4.5 runs (Mize fade amid Tigers’ lineup). Road woes for Pittsburgh and the bloom of Baltimore’s home edge frame the night’s value plays.

Also noted are situational angles: Ashcraft’s innings limit, Bradish’s first-time-through-the-order stability, May’s recent home-run trouble, and the Yankees’ potent offense against a fade-prone Casey Mize. These elements shape a compact, targeted night of bets with clear upside for fantasy and betting enthusiasts.
