The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-28 in Week 1 of the 2019 preseason, and coach Mike Tomlin has already said more of the starters will be used in Week 2.

They're 7-2 in their last nine preseason games and look good to pick up another win here. Note that this will be the Steelers last game home at Heinz Field before the regular season kicks off, so I'm sure they'll be up for this one.

As for the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, they opened the 2019 preseason with a dominant 38-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Starting QB Patrick Mahomes went 4-for-4 for 66 yards but is unlikely to see any action in this contest as head coach Andy Reid will want to see more from backups Chase Litton and rookie Kyle Shurmur.

Look for a fired-up Steelers side to get the W in front of the home town crowd.

The New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals combined for just five runs in Game of this series Friday night. I expect to see a low-scoring pitchers duel here in the second game on Saturday.

Mets' righty Jacob deGrom (7-7, 2.68 ERA) is having a spectacular year and has held seven straight opponents to fewer than three earned runs. As for Royals' righty Jakob Junis (8-10, 4.80 ERA), he has allowed only three runs over 12 innings of work in his last two starts combined and under is 5-2 in Junis' last 7 starts overall. We can also note that this will be Junis' first career start against the Mets while deGrom has not faced KC since the 2015 World Series, with unfamiliarity usually favoring the pitcher.

Under is 12-3-1 in Mets last 16 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record. Under is 13-3 in Royals last 16 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter.

Additionally, we can note that the Mets are 6-3 against the runline as a favorite of -200 or more this season, covering four straight.

The reigning Super Bowl champions New England Patriots limited Detroit to 93 yards of total offense in their 31-3 Week 1 victory. Star quarterback Tom Brady was kept on the sidelines for the whole contest but should see some action in this one.

Coach Bill Belichick will most likely want to emphasize on the defense here on the road against a Tennesee Titans side that racked up 388 yards of offense in last week's 27-10 win over Philadelphia. Titans' starting QB Marcus Mariota hit just 50 percent of his eight passes for 24 yards, and even if he sees more action here he's likely to struggle against this Pats defense.

Additionally to the under, I also like the Pats to come through with a win as they seek revenge for last season's Week 10 loss to the Titans. Yes, this is just a preseason game which shouldn't mean much, but revenge is revenge ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates put a bad beat on their opponent Friday night as they scored twice in the ninth inning to earn a 3-2 win. Runs came at a premium for both teams in that contest, but I expect to see more fireworks today.

Cubs' left-hander Jon Lester (9-8, 4.43 ERA) has been torched for 16 runs on 24 hits through 14 innings of work over his last three starts. Over is 21-6 in Lesters last 27 starts during game 2 of a series and 11-3-1 in his last 15 starts with 5 days of rest. As for Pirates' starter Steven Brault (3-1, 4.33 ERA), the left-hander was reached for four runs in 4 2/3 innings of an 11-9 Pirates loss at St. Louis last time out.

Over is 20-7-1 in Pirates' last 28 games vs. a left-handed starter. Over is 6-1 in Lester's last 7 road starts vs. Pirates.

The Miami Dolphins looked great in their Week 1win over the Falcons! Or did they, or were their opponent simply weak? Note that Atlanta is 0-3 on the preseason with losses to Denver (14-10), Miami (34-27) and the New York Jets (22-10).

The Dolphins will face a much tougher opponent here in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who didn't look all that bad in their 30-28 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers last Friday. They outgained the Steelers 479-339 and I expect the Bucs offense to fire on all cylinders here in front of the home town crowd.

Additionally, with two first-year coaches in Brian Flores (Dolphins) and Bruce Arians (Bucs) I think both will want to see what they have to work with, turning this into an exciting shootout and pushing the score over the total.

The Cincinnati Reds look like a solid home favorite here with their ace Luis Castillo (11-4, 2.69 ERA) on the bump. The 26-year-old right-hander is 7-3 behind a 2.35 ERA in 15 starts home at Great American Ballpark on the season and he has held the Cards tto two runs over 12 innings of work this year.

The Reds are 5-0 in Castillo's last 5 starts against the Cardinals, while their starter Adam Wainwright (8-8, 4.35 ERA) owns a 9-12 record with a 5.31 ERA in 31 career appearances (26 starts) versus Cincinnati.

The Reds are 9-3 in their last 12 home games. The Cardinals are 0-6 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a three-game sweep of the Cubs while the San Diego Padres had lost three on the bounce before putting an end to the skid Thursday night.

I like the Phillies to keep rolling here against Friars' righty Chris Paddack (7-5, 3.26 ERA) who was tagged with six runs over four innings at LA Dodgers his last time out on the road. The Friars are 2-6 in Paddack's last eight starts away from home and he also struggled when he took on the Phillies back in June when he allowed six runs (five earned) over four-plus innings of a 9-6 loss.

As for Phillies' starter Vince Velasquez (4-7, 4.30 ERA), the 27-year-old righty owns a 2-0 mark with no runs allowed over 17 1/3 innings against the Padres who have lost nine of their last 13 on the road.
