This is a play on the CHICAGO CUBS for our Tuesday Free Play. Chicago took the opener of this series last night with a 4-0 victory and the Cubs have won five of their last six games and have a 3.5-game lead over the Padres for the top Wild Card spot in the National League which gives them home field for the first round of the playoffs. They are five games over .500 on the road and they are in a buy low spot here based on the pitching matchup. Cade Horton has been a great addition to the starting rotation as he has a 2.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 20 starts with Chicago going 13-7. This includes a 7-3 record in 10 road outings. The Pirates are now 42-34 at home and they have gotten a lot of value here picking up 8.4 units. They come in favored tonight for obvious reasons with Paul Skenes on the hill and while we played him with a free play in his last home start, he was an underdog against the Dodgers. He is on the way to the National League Cy Young but he now faces a Cubs team better than the Dodgers with reversed lines and the Pirates are 6-5 in his 11 starts against teams outscoring opponents by 0.5 or more rpg.
