ChiCubs/Pittsburgh Under 8
-I'm gonna take another shot with the Under between these two. First off, the 2 teams are a combined 127-159 to the under this year. The visiting Cubs are 4-9 to the under their last 13 while the Pirates are 2-9 to the under their last 11. The Pirates are simply just not hitting lately, scoring just 24 runs in their last 11 games, an average of just 2.18 runs per game. Starting for the Cubs is LHP Matthew Boyd who is a nice 13-8 on the season with a ERA of 3.05 and a ERA of 2.36 during the day! In addition, he is 1-0 in 2 starts vs Pittsburgh this season, giving up just 3 ER's in 11 1/3 IP for an ERA of just 2.38 and the Pirates hit just .218 vs LHP this year (16 pts bellow their avg.) Meanwhile, the pirates start Johan Oviedo who is 2-0 this season in with an ERA of just 2.81! In his last 5 starts, his ERA drops to 2.19. Finally, these 2 teams are 1-8-1 to the under the last 10 times playing head-to-head! He also had the luxury of the Cubs never have faced him before. Again, just like yesterday, 8 is a low number, but I just can't see these two teams reaching that total............Play the Under!
