Chicago has a losing road mark and is on a 7-19 run away from Wrigley Field. The bullpen is 23rd in ERA (4.44) and 24th in WHIP. Drew Smyly just faced the Pirates in his last start and allowed nine hits and five runs in six innings. He also has a 4.96 ERA in nine starts against Pittsburgh. The Cubs are 4-13 on the road against a righty starter, plus 13-22 when the line is +125 to -125. Pittsburgh has a winning home record and is delighted to be home after a lousy six-game trek. Osvaldo Bido (2.25 ERA) gets another turn in the rotation after throwing well against the Cubs. Pittsburgh is 12-5 after four or more straight road games and the wagering value is on the home team to win the game or lose by one run. Play Pittsburgh on the Run-Line as a Max Play.
