MLB Baseball Betting - Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs

[Shame About Ray]

No, Alfonso Soriano didn’t hit a lead-off homer for the third game in a row, but yesterday afternoon’s sports betting results were quite the same as the Cubs upended the San Diego Padres by a 4-0 final count to take three of four in the series. Chicago continues to be a tremendous sports wager at home as the win was their 17th in 24 tries this season and allowed them to tie the Arizona Diamondbacks for the best home record in all of baseball. Cubs starter, Ryan Dempster, threw an absolute gem almost going the distance before being yanked with one out in the ninth in favor of closer Kerry Wood who nailed down his eighth save of the season. They’ll look to keep the good times rolling in this afternoon’s online betting affair against the surging Pittsburgh Pirates. Brave enough MLB Bettors have made some nice coin of late backing the Pirates who come into this series, winners in eight of their last 10. They’re coming off a series win at St. Louis that saw them win two of three, and they’ve made their MLB backers close to $700.00 throughout their hot streak. With the series win against the Cardinals, the Pirates have now won three straight series for the first time since August of last year. That said, they’ve been dominated throughout their first six meetings with the Cubs this season getting outscored 52-24, and it’s been over a year since they last won a game at Wrigley Field.
