Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs

Pittsburgh Pirates

Chicago Cubs

CHC -132 · O/U 9.5

Peek grade

The Gist

Over 9.5

▸Chicago has five pitchers on the 60-Day-IL (Justin Steele, Shelby Miller, Ben Brown, Phil Maton, Riley Martin), which thins the bullpen behind Clay Holmes and makes the -132 price harder to trust.
▸Pittsburgh is also short-handed, with Mitch Keller on the 60-Day-IL and Braxton Ashcraft, Esmerlyn Valdez and Isaac Mattson all on the 15-Day or 10-Day IL, so both pens may be pressed by the middle in
▸Paul Skenes starting against Clay Holmes gives the Pirates a clear ace edge, but Oneil Cruz being day-to-day adds uncertainty to Pittsburgh's lineup at a total of 9.5.
