MLB | Pirates vs Cubs
Play on: Cubs -154 at GTBets
10* FREE MLB PICK (Cubs -154)
I'll take my chances here with the Cubs at home in Thursday's series finale agains the Pirates. After dropping the first two games against Pittsburgh, Chicago came away with a 7-6 win in extra innings and in the process punched their ticket into the postseason. That only secured a Wild Card spot. The Cubs want the division title and they can move a full 1-game up on Milwaukee with a win in this one. They have just the guy on the mound to deliver the goods in Jon Lester, who has heated up down the stretch and comes into this one with a 2.55 ERA in his last 3 starts. Chicago has won 5 of Lester's last 6 starts against the Pirates. On the flip side of this, Pittsburgh has lost 4 of Trevor Williams 5 career starts against the Cubs. Williams has been throwing it well, but Chicago is 8-2 in their last 10 vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. They are also 38-14 in Lester's last 52 home starts. Give me the Cubs -154!
