RECORD YTD 17-6
MY PLAY IS THE CUBS -135
HERE IS WHY:
I know that this line may be a little to expensive to play a visit team but I think the way Hill has been pitching lately it is worth a try.
Look at this numbers:
Hill: ERA 1.57 WHIP 0.84
Duke: ERA 6.92 WHIP 1.65
You can see a huge gap between those two. I know Duke can be very good at times but he has to pitch against a very good trio of right handed hitters such as SORIANO, LEE, RAMIREZ, etc.
Another thing to take on consideration is that both teams are playing better baseball outside of home and that the CUBS are on a 3 game winning streak and have an extra day off because of the game suspension yesterday. On the other hand the PIRATES are on a 2 game slide.
I am taking the better pitcher here and the most powerful team.
good luck as always
