Pittsburgh at Chicago

The Chicago Cubs’ offense has come to a screeching halt over the last nine games. Aside from a 14-run outburst against Cincinnati, the Cubs’ offense has been grounded. They have managed just 18 runs total in the other eight games, producing on average just over 2 per game. Looking at a high NL total of double-digits, pushes the value to the UNDER in this one. They aren't alone in their struggles as the Pirates have been even worse at producing runs. The Pirates have crossed the plate just once in their last three games, and haven't scored at all in their last two. They had an 11-run outburst, but over their last 13, excluding that one, they are scoring less than 2 per contest. This one falls shy of the total.
