Sunday MLB Winner!!!
PIRATES -131
Had the Pirates last night...and lost...I see the Pirates winning before the All-Star break. Don't see them losing two in a row.I'm backing the Pittsburgh Pirates at home Sunday behind underrated lefty Paul Maholm. The surprising Pirates sit just one game out of the division lead in the NL Central at 46-43 on the season. This team simply believes they can win now thanks to Clint Hurdle, who is clearly the manager of the year at this point. Maholm has posted a 3.08 ERA and 1.219 WHIP in 18 starts this season, and he's 4-4 with a 2.02 ERA and 1.171 WHIP in 10 home starts.
The Pirates are 11-4 in Maholm's 15 career starts against Chicago. In two starts against the Cubs this season, Maholm has pitched 15 2/3 shutout innings while allowing only 10 base runners. The Cubs are 28-62 in their last 90 games following a win. The Pirates are a perfect 6-0 in their last 6 games following a loss. Pittsburgh is 4-0 in Maholm's last 4 home starts. The Pirates are 4-0 in Maholms last 4 home starts vs. Cubs. Take the Pirates Sunday. Im betting the house on this one!!!!!!!!
Good Luck!!!!!!
