MLB Free Premium Play 09/17: Pittsburgh Pirates @ Chicago Cubs

Pittsburgh  at Chicago

MLB - 955 Pittsburgh Pirates @ 956 Chicago Cubs (Starting Pitchers: K. Correia vs T. Wood) Pittsburgh is now heavily struggling, with their pitching being terrible and their offense being very inconsistent. They were winning yesterday by 9-5 and lost by 9-13, in another sign of poor confidence. Pittsburgh will start Correia and he is struggling right now. He has no strikeout ability (2-1-2-3 K's L4 starts) and he also can't go deep on his games forcing the bullpen to enter the game early. The Cubs are hitting .290 BA and .845 OPS in 93 AB's against Correia, so the fired up Cubs should be ready to make Correia struggle tonight. Wood will start for the Cubs and he has been very solid lately, after being a disaster early on the season. He has a 1.40 ERA in September and he has been able to limit the damage against top NL offenses like Milwaukee and Cincinnati. He has also faced the Pirates in September on the road and perform a shutout in six innings. In fact, he is allowing Pittsburgh to hit .195 BA and .617 OPS in 77 AB's against him. The momentum is completely on the Cubs side for this contest and there is also a clear SP edge for the Cubs in here. Therefore, I expect the Cubs to keep continuing their spoiler role and win this game tonight. Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 956 Chicago Cubs ML (w/ T. Wood) @ -114 / 1.88 on 5Dimes
