Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Betting Prediction: The MLB match between Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates will kick off on May 6, 2010, 7:05 PM ET at PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have already lost 11 games by at least six runs, a pattern that suggests an 18th straight losing season is on the horizon.
When staying close, though, they've been awfully tough to beat.
The Pirates (12-15) have allowed 86 more runs than they've scored -- by far the worst differential in the majors -- but they're hanging around .500 nonetheless. Pittsburgh's 15 losses have been by an average of 7.4 runs, but it's a major league-best 10-1 in games decided by two runs or fewer.
Since snagging victories in seven of their first 12 games of the year, the Pirates have dropped 10 of their L/13 overall and enter tonight’s battle with the division rival Cubs losers of three in a row. They’re 5-4 (+$201) at home, and the last time they played in front of their home fans, they were bludgeoned by Milwaukee 20-0.
