(MLB) Cubs (CHC) vs. Pirates (PIT),
Money Line: -109.00 Pirates (PIT) (Home)
Result: Loss
The Chicago Cubs have taken advantage of an easy schedule as their last three series were against squads near the bottom of the standings. The Cubs are only 2-4 in their last six road games.

Furthermore, Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon has been exploited, squandering at least four runs in three consecutive outings, and has a 5.73 ERA on the month. Pirates Mitch Keller came through with a gem in his previous outing, posting seven scoreless innings against the Rangers. The Pirates have won in six of his last eight outings.

Back PITT here on Monday night as our only selection.
