MLB betting: Looking at NL Wild Card starters

Major League Baseball's postseason officially starts Tuesday with the National League Wild Card game between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Pirates and Reds will renew acquaintances for the seventh time in the past 10 games for each club.

Mat Latos was manager Dusty Baker's first choice to make the start, but the big righty has a bone chip in his elbow which is causing him discomfort, so Johnny Cueto gets the call.

The Bucs will call on southpaw Francisco Liriano to take the hill.

Here is a look inside the numbers for Tuesday's starting pitchers.

Liriano versus the Reds - 0-3, 3.70 ERA in four starts.

- The Reds roster bats .260 (32-for-123) with four homers and 12 RBIs versus Liriano.
- Todd Frazier is 3-for-9 with a pair of solo homers off the Pirates lefty.

Cueto versus the Pirates - 1-0, 0.73 ERA in two starts.

- The Pirates roster bats .209 (45-for-215) with five homers and 17 RBIs versus Cueto.
- Andrew McCutchen is 9-for-39 (.231) with three homers and five RBIs versus Cueto.

NFL betting: Three teams improve to 4-0 O/U records

Despite a high total in the Denver Broncos versus Philadelphia Eagles game, the scoreline soared past the 57.5 number as the teams combined for 72 points.

The 52-20 Broncos victory moves the club to a 4-0 Over/Under record along with a pair of other teams who saw their totals go over the number Sunday.

The Chicago Bears also moved to 4-0 O/U after their 42-30 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Joining them at that clip is the Minnesota Vikings who combined for 61 points in Minny's 34-27 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in London, England.

The Green Bay Packers, who are enjoying their bye week, sit at 3-0 O/U
