Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago Cubs. The MLB pick is the Chicago Cubs. Both teams did a great job in the preseason but the grounds are different this time as they will play full force this regular season. Chicago is the better team that will do some damage this time while Pittsburgh will hope they will play way better this time compared to last year. The Pirates were the only Central team in the NL to miss the playoffs which are embarrassing enough. Hendricks is the better starter compared to what Kuhl recorded last year which gives more of the edge to the Cubs. The Cubs will beat the Pirates offered at -210 to a predicted score of 6-2.
