Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs The MLB pick for this game is the Pittsburgh Pirates. In their last 11 games, the Pirates won eight of them and two of their last three away games.

Their recent three road games saw them score 15 runs, demonstrating their strong offensive performance. They’ve hit the ball well against right-handers, and Taillon underperformed for the

Cubs on the mound, particularly at home, where he gave up 16 runs in four starts, so expect them to play well offensively in this game.

Due to Chicago’s seventh-worst bullpen in the league, they will struggle to contain the Pirates in this game after he gave up five runs in his only start against them.

Four of the Cubs’ last seven games ended in defeat, and five losses came at home. Only eight runs were scored in their last three home games, a sign of their current offensive struggles.

Because Ortiz has been effective on the mound recently, allowing six runs in his past three starts, their offensive struggles will persist in this game.

He will again restrain the Cubs’ offense after making one start against them and allowing one run. Pick Pittsburgh to cover the spread on the wager. The Pittsburgh Pirates will win by a predicted score of 7-3.
