Chicago at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has been getting good pitching lately, but the hitters need to step up for the Pirates to get some wins, and they have an opportunity today against Matthew Boyd. Chicago has lost three of Boyd's past four starts, and he has allowed 15 runs in 23 1/3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, Johan Oviedo is coming off four consecutive good outings for Pittsburgh while yielding just five earned runs and 12 hits over 19 2/3 innings. The Pirates have gone UNDER in seven of eight games, and eight of the past nine meetings have stayed UNDER. Chicago has gone UNDER five straight road contests, and Pittsburgh is 87-60 UNDER in 2025. The UNDER is 8-1-1 in Boyd's past 10 starts against teams with losing records, and the Cubs are 12-2-2 UNDER versus the NL Central. Take the Pirates and the UNDER.
