Analysis
We're taking the Pittsburgh Pirates to get the road win on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.
Rapid Breakdown
- Pittsburgh finally turned a corner on Monday after securing a 5-3 win in Game 1 against the Chicago Cubs, that coming after the Pirates had dropped five of their previous six games in league action.
- We expect Pittsburgh however to continue that solid turnaround with another victory later tonight as they take on a Cubs team that may have seen their own good run come to a premature end in yesterday's opener, blowing the late lead with five runs given up across the final two innings.
- The Pirates Paul Skenes has been electric on the road so far this year, boasting a 1.66 road ERA overall, as well as owning an even better 1.64 ERA across the L/15 days specifically.
Take Pittsburgh to keep the roll going tonight with a follow-up win in Game 2 against the Chicago Cubs.
