CHC: Marshall (0-0, 8.31 ERA)
PIT: Santos (1-1, 4.66 ERA)
The latest battle in the long-running war between the division rival Cubs and Pirates goes today with Sean Marshall slated to go against Victor Santos.
Pittsburgh has been struggling of late, winning just 3 of their past 10 games. They have averaged just 5.6 runs per game during this stretch and getting 11.7 hits per game. For the season, they are 3-8 facing a Cubs team carrying a 5-3 record.
Oddsmakers like the Cubs in this one, opening the line at 110 in their favor. They are 5-3 this season, while the Pirates are 3-8. The total, which is 8-3-0 to the OVER in Pirates games and 4-4-0 in Cubs games, was set at 9.5.
Last time out, the Cubs lost to the Reds 8-3 as favorites. That contest went over the closing total.
The Pirates lost to the Dodgers 13-5 as favorites. That contest went over the closing total.
Pittsburgh hitters can get ready or be made to look foolish today, as the Cubs staff boasts one of the best strikeout ratios in the league, fanning 7.4 per game.
Some trends to consider:
Chi Cubs are 4-8-3 OU in its last 15 games against Pittsburgh
Chi Cubs are 2-4-1 OU in its last 7 games away against Pittsburgh
Chi Cubs are 4-7-1 OU in its last 12 away
Chi Cubs are 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 games
Pittsburgh is 7-1-0 OU in its last 8 games
Pittsburgh is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Pittsburgh is 2-4-1 OU in its last 7 games at home against Chi Cubs
