MLB: Thursday's play

Play: Pittsburgh -112 (Hendricks vs. Locke)

Time: 12:35 p.m. ET

TV: MLBN

Reasoning: The Pirates have won eight straight series against Chicago and are looking for a split in this one. Lefty Jeff Locke gets the ball on Friday and Pittsburgh has won nine of his last 10 home starts. He has a 1.93 ERA and, other than Anthony Rizzo (who is 3-for-10 against him), the rest of the Cubs roster is 5-for-33 lifetime against Locke. Kyle Hendricks has a 6.10 ERA. The Pirates are scoring a half-run more per game vs. RH and Chicago is scoring a half-run less per game vs. LH.

Record: 347-260-12 (57.2%)
Bankroll: +334.66%
