Betting Odds Preview

Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates posted the second-best record in baseball during the regular season and are rewarded by facing perhaps the best pitcher in baseball in Jake Arrieta in a wild card game against the Chicago Cubs Wednesday. 

To make matters worse for the Pirates, Arrieta has completely dominated them this season.
