CHC: Williams (0-0, 3.60 ERA)
PIT: Duke (0-1, 6.55 ERA)
The Cubs look to take a National League Central win from Pittsburgh on Saturday when the teams take the field at PNC Park.
Chi Cubs takes its 6-3 mark to Pittsburgh to battle the 3-9 Pirates today.
Oddsmakers like the Pirates in this one, opening the line at 120 in favor of Pittsburgh. They are 3-9 this season, while the Cubs are 6-3. The total, which is 9-3-0 to the OVER in Pirates games and 5-4-0 in Cubs games, opened at 9.
Dusty Baker's team hopes to build upon an 11-6 win over the Pirates. They were 110 favorites in a game that went over the total.
Pittsburgh pitchers are charitable with the baserunners, giving up more hits per game than just about every team in the league. The Cubs hitters could see good pitches to hit today.
Some trends to consider:
Chi Cubs are 1-5-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring more than 9 runs
Chi Cubs are 8-14-4 OU in its last 26 games against Pittsburgh
Chi Cubs are 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 away
Pittsburgh is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Pittsburgh is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games
Pittsburgh is 8-14-4 OU in its last 26 games against Chi Cubs
