Premium Pick

Paul Skenes will make his second start for Pittsburgh and his first one was nothing great as he allowed three runs on six hits in four innings on Saturday against the Cubs, who now will see him again. The Pirates pulled out a 10-9 win in that game, but this time they'll face Kyle Hendricks, who came off the injury list and gave up a run on two hits in five innings against the Pirates on Sunday. Chicago has gone UNDER three of its past four games and the forecast calls for chilly conditions with the wind blowing in at 9 mph at Wrigley Field. Pittsburgh is 4-0-1 UNDER against a team that allowed at least five runs its previous game. Chicago is 13-6 following a loss this season and Hendricks has a 3.59 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP in 22 career starts against the Pirates. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.
