Riding on a six-game winning streak, the Chicago Cubs open a fresh three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have carried over their hot form into the first days of September as they extended their win streak to six games following Sunday’s 14-1 rout over the Washington Nationals. The Cubs, who averaged 10.0 runs on a .319 batting average in their last ten games, connected 18 hits in the ball game, four of which came from Dansby Swanson. Chicago also got three 14 runs from Isaac Paredes, while Cody Bellinger, Miguel Amaya and Nicole Hoerner tallied two RBIs each. In contrast to the Cubs, the Pirates’ downward trajectory continues after absorbing their sixth loss in 10 games. Pittsburgh, who were contending for a wild-card playoff spot two months ago, found themselves in a bad situation at the bottom of the NL Central standings with a 63-73 record.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Cubs are 9-1 in their last ten assignments, covering the spread in eight wins. Again, Chicago is smoking their opponent in their previous ten games by averaging 10.0 runs per game and keeping their ERA at 4.65. The Cubs have also won and covered the spread in their three head-to-head games with the Pirates. All the trust I had for Jared Jones evaporated after the Pittsburgh hurler conceded five runs through five innings in a 9-5 loss to the Cubs last August 27. Our betting prediction for Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Cubs will cover -1.5 runs, +155, at BetMGM.
Prediction:
Chicago Cubs will cover -1.5 runs
