Easy Eddie's 20* MLB NL Wild Card Winner!
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: 129.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
20* Pittsburgh Pirates
Tonight I am taking the Pittsburgh Pirates as home underdogs against the Chicago Cubs. This line is surprising to me. I get that Jake Arrieta has been on a historical run. But the Pirates won 98 games, 53 of them coming at PNC Park. Gerrit Cole takes the mound for the Pirates and he was no slouch himself, winning 19 games. Cole has almost just as good of a chance as shutting down Chicago as Arrieta does Pittsburgh. Add in the Pirates experience and their bullpen and I can't pass up this price. Take the Pirates!
