    Pittsburgh Pirates (-130)

    Pittsburgh Pirates (-130)

    The Pirates will send righty starter Ian Snell (11-8,4.58) to the hill here tonight against the lowly cubbies.

    Snell has been good for his team, as is evident by the Pirates winning 7 of his L/9 outings overall . His pitching opponent rookie Angel Guzman from the Cubs , has been a inconsistent for the most part in his inaugural campaign , and his team is 0-6 in his L/6 starts.

    Considering tonights pitching matchup and how horribly Chicago has been playing, losing 6 of their L/7, betting against them will not be a hard decision. Final notes & Trends: Cubs are 0-7 L/7 as underdogs, and 0-5 L/5 vs a right handed starter. Pirates are 10-2 L/12 against right handers like Guzman.

    Play: Pittsburgh Pirates
    Game date: Mon Aug 28 2006 7:05pm

    Pittburgh's Snell has been pitching great recently and I expect that to continue tonight against the Cubs who suffering a tough loss last night against the Cardinals
