The Cubs are in the middle of a 9-game losing streak with a completely depleted pitching staff (Steele, Hodge, Horton, Harvey all on the 60-day IL) and an offense that's gone silent. Pittsburgh gets Carmen Mlodzinski at home against a Chicago team in total freefall, and at +162 on the money line the Pirates offer significant value that the market hasn't fully priced given the Cubs' catastrophic recent form.
