TOP RATED 10* MLB GAME OF THE WEEK
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: 120.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
The Chicago Cubs put an end to Pittsburgh Pirates' four-game winning streak with a 1-0 victory on Wednesday. The Cubs have still scored just five runs through past four contests, and I think the Pirates will get the better of them tonight.

Jameson Taillon (7-5, 4.50 ERA) will take the ball for Pittsburgh. He tossed six scoreless innings against Cincinnati his last time out and he has limited the Cubs to four earned runs in 12 frames on the season.

The Cubs turn to Jon Lester (9-7, 4.46 ERA) who has been lit up to the tune of 16 runs (nine earned) on 19 hits and seven walks in 13 1/3 innings against Pittsburgh on the year. The veteran southpaw was tagged with four runs and eight hits over five innings against Atlanta on Sept. 2 in his first start since Aug. 17

The Cubs are 0-4 in Lester's last four starts against the Pirates, and this looks like a great price on the home team.

My MLB Game of the Week is a 10* play on Pittsburgh Pirates.
