Chicago at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates are a vastly improved team and should finally stay away from the 90+ loss mark they have been destined for in the past. The improvements are in the rotation and pen, as the offense still struggles. Last night's 1-0 win is what this team has been able to do this year, make the most out of a limited offense. The Pirates have scored 3 runs or less in ten of their last 15 games, but still managed to go 7-8. For the season this team has topped the total just 12 times in their 45 games played, so the UNDER is certainly always on the table with this club. The Cubs have now lost ten straight and over the last eight of them they have managed just a grand total of 13 runs at less than 1.5 per contest. The Pirates have seen just two of their last 16 top the total after allowing two runs or less in their last game. Play on the UNDER.
