Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
The bottom line here is we're auto-fading the Cubs with Zambrano on the mound, even against the Pirates. Pittsburgh is also the most cashing team when it comes to being a dog. Zambrano gets back in the rotation for the Cubs and he is an awful 1-2 with a 7.45 ERA. He is 1-1 in 5 career starts against the Pirates. Zach Duke starts for the Pirates, he is 3-5 with a 5.03 ERA. Not impressive stuff, however he just has to be better than Zambrano here. The Chicago Cubs are 1-9 in their last 10 games when playing Pittsburgh. They are also 0-5 in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Pittsburgh. The Pirates are a game over .500 at home, while the Cubs are 10-13 on the road this season. The Pirates are going for the sweep here and there is no way they should be a dog with Zambrano on the mound. Back Pittsburgh.
