Chicago at Pittsburgh

The Cubs are off to a surprising start at 3-1, but I don't think they will maintain that level of play. They won the series opener in Pittsburgh with a stellar pitching performance 2-1. They will return to the top of their rotation with Kyle Hendriks on the mound. This may not be the best matchup for Hendriks as he has a career mark of 7-10 vs the Pirates who have had his number. Zach Thompson solved the Cubs last year when he went a strong six innings and allowed just a single run. I think these teams are pretty even, and the Pirates have the apparent edge on the hill based on the matchup. Chicago a bit over-priced as well with a 3-1 start. Make the play on Pittsburgh.
