Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago Cubs Odds
Odds from bet365 Sportsbook on April 10th.
The Cubs are listed as moderate home favorites at -150 on the moneyline, but their track record when favored this season raises some questions. Chicago is just 2-3 overall when installed as the favorite and 1-1 in that role at home. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has thrived as a favorite this season with a 5-1 record, though they enter this one in the underdog role at +125.
The total has moved from an opening line of 7 down to 6.5, suggesting oddsmakers expect a tighter, lower-scoring affair. That aligns with the Cubs’ tendencies, as only 33.3% of their games have gone over this season. However, half of Pittsburgh’s games have hit the over, so there is some tension in the number. The run line also saw slight movement, with the Cubs shifting from -1.5 (+160) to -1.5 (+150), indicating a touch more confidence in a Chicago win by multiple runs.
