Pirates vs. Cubs odds, prediction: MLB best bets, picks Friday
The Cubs are good.
And they're better (20-11) when they're at Wrigley.
Chicago's rookie Cade Horton has been solid, but allowed four runs at Detroit in his previous start.
The Pirates are in for the weekend, and Paul Skenes takes his turn.
Skenes two-hit Philly for 7 ²/₃ and has given up just six runs over his past 48 ¹/₃.
Bet against the Cubs at Wrigley?
Yeah. $50 on Skenes and the Pirates.

But they punched back. Down 7-2, then 7-5 in the ninth inning, their ragtag lineup rallied.
No, really.
Orlando Arcia's two-run base hit was the knockout punch.
Final Rocks 8, Giants 7.
Colorado hasn't seen a comeback like that since John Elway. Rocky Mountain High! Down -268 clubberlangs.
