MLB Baseball Betting - Cubs vs. Pirates

The Cubs and Pirates pick back up Wednesday evening after taking the day off on Tuesday. Sports bettors see the Cubs enter tonight’s game with a 4-3 mark, and a perfect 1-0 mark on the road after picking up the extra innings victory in game one of this three game set on Monday afternoon. However, we here at BetUS sports book know we’ll see the Pirates looking to build on its 3-4 record as well.

Monday afternoon’s battle between the Cubs and Buccos was a wild one to say the least. Chicago pounded Pittsburgh starter Tom Gorzelanny into the ground early and often as they punished him for 6 hits and 7 earned runs in just 2 1/3rd innings of work. Ted Lilly was cruising up until the 4th inning where he was the unfortunate beneficiary of a pair of errors that allowed the Pirates to put five runs on the board. The game was then eventually tied up in the 7th inning at eight a piece after Cubs 2B Mark DeRosa committed another error. After both clubs seemingly emptied their benches and bullpens, the Cubs took advantage in the 12th inning by scratching across two runs and held on to win by the 10-8 final.
