(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -111.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Loss
Taking the CUBBIES. Chicago has won 2 straight, 6 of 8 and 8 of 12. Making a push late for the division, or wild card. We are holding on to our over 77.5 wins and a division ticket to boot. Maybe a slight bias here tonight. That being said, Pirates have come back to Earth. Oh remember April. Pitt was all the rage winning 20 games -- seems like that have won only 30 in the months since. (really they won 37 in 3+ months) - Keller is approaching career high in innings pitched and we have seen the ERA, the BA Against and WHIP all rise as the season progresses. Short price for Chicago who sends out their old vet Hendricks. This guy has been solid in his 8 road starts posting a .95 WHIP and 207 BA Against. The guy in 17 starts has given up more that 3 runs just 3 times. He took care of the Pirates back in June going 6.1 2 hits 1 Earned Run. Give me the Cubbies to continue their winning ways. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS
