I starting to think Pirates really are a play, pirates own the cubs
Talbot has great #'s against the white sox this year
good luck on your plays

No. You might hit both but I wouldn't touch either.

They owned the old Cubs, look how good they have been looking since Lou retired. Big Z is arguably the best pitcher there and cubs have Maholm's number.
Look at how Talbot pitched since coming back from DL.

Yes, it's true the cubs have looked different, but I think the Pirates might just get up a little bit more for games against the Cubs. They have looked better in the last couple of games--but remember they were playing the nationals the other week when they got that sweep. No denying Zambrano's looked better, but don't you think his looking better lately could be just because he was atrocious before(punching team mates, walking in runs, and throwing tantrums). Look at the walks he gave up to SD and SF(6 and 7), this shows his command is still questionable, and I don't think he has the same velocity. Bad #'s against the pirates the one time he faced them earlier in the season too. There's value in +160, are you gonna play the cubs at -180 or whatever theyre at?
Talbot has looked bad in his return against the DL, but his #'s are still good against the White Sox, not like they looked like gang busters vs NYY rookie pitcher yesterday. Value in the home dog. GL on whatever you decide though.

I see your points and I'm not touching the Cubs, like I haven't all year.
Still think there's no value in Cleveland when their pitcher has a WHIP of almost two in the last 3 games since off the DL.
in your plays as well

Cubs and White Sox are going to have easy wins. Pirates and Indians are Underdogs for a reason, I wouldnt bet on them

Not sure about those 2 picks. I like the Brewers at +135. Thought that was one of the better dog plays.

Pirates certainly have had the Cubs number of late.
