Cubs vs. Pirates Betting Pick, DFS Plays – April 21

Gambling911.com has your Cubs vs. Pirates betting pick and DFS plays for April 21.

Best Bets: UNDER 7

Best DFS Picks: Francisco Liriano

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Travis Wood (1-1, 2.31 ERA) vs. Pirates LH Francisco Liriano (0-1, 2.08 ERA)

Betting Line: Pittsburgh -150, Chicago Cubs +142, Total: 7

Wood is 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA in seven outings (six starts) at PNC Park. He has won his last three decisions in Pittsburgh dating to 2011.

Liriano is desperately looking for his first win of the season following to quality starts. The Cubs offer the perfect opportunity.

He is 4-2 with a 2.30 ERA in nine career starts against them and this new look Chicago team doesn’t affect that edge. He has only permitted 13 of 70 at bats to the current Cubs roster.

This does not appear to be a good matchup for daily fantasy players outside of selecting Liriano priced at $8.7K.
