Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs Preview & Picks
Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs Preview & Picks
Chicago are tipped to win the opening game of this series with Pittsburgh.
The Cubs return home after a rough road trip, but they are in good form at Wrigley and starter Jameson Taillon has been playing well recently.
- Chicago Cubs are 10-2 in their last 12 home games
- Chicago pitcher Jameson Taillon has allowed 2 runs or less in each of his last 4 starts
- Pittsburgh Pirates are 4-13 in their previous 17 road games
- The Under has cashed in 8 of Chicago’s last 13 games (2 pushes)
Head To Head
- Pittsburgh Pirates lead the all-time series 1315-1279-18
- Chicago Cubs won 8-3 when the two teams last met on May 1
Pittsburgh Pirates Form
Pittsburgh head to Chicago in decent form, having won six times during a run of nine consecutive home games.
The Pirates began that sequence with a 3-0 home defeat to Houston, but they rebounded immediately with a 3-0 victory of their own.
They lost the final game of the series with the Astros, 8-2, only to respond in strong fashion as they reeled off four consecutive wins.
Pittsburgh swept Philadelphia with a 5-4, 2-1 and 2-1 victories, before taking the series opener against Miami, 10-3.
The Pirates failed to make it to five-in-a-row as they lost 3-2 to the Marlins, but they did bounce back immediately to take the series finale 5-2.
Chicago Cubs Form
Chicago return home after an underwhelming road trip that saw them win just four of their nine games.
The Cubs kicked off that trip with an 8-3 victory in Washington, but they failed to back that up as they lost 2-0 in the second game of the series.
They rallied to take the final meeting 7-1, before moving on to Detroit where they sandwiched a 6-1 win over the Tigers with 3-1 and 4-0 defeats.
Chicago suffered the same fate in Philadelphia too, as they lost two of their three meetings with the Phillies.
The Cubs lost the series opener 4-3, and then failed to back up an 8-4 win over the Phillies as they dropped the series finale 7-2.
Verdict
Chicago had a rough run on the road, but they are now back home where they have done their best work recently.
Jameson Taillon gets the start too, so we are confident that the Cubs will take this one.
