Chicago at Pittsburgh

After sweeping the Cubs at Wrigley, the Pittsburgh Pirates dropped Game 1 at home to the Chicago Cubs yesterday in blowout fashion 14-3. I look for the Pirates to bow their backs tonight at home, to wash the bad taste out of their collective mouths. The Pirates have been a thorn in the Cubs side, winning four of the last five meetings going back to last season. Cerrit Cole takes the mound for the Pirates, and he is 61-40 for his career, and opponents have plated an average of 3.28 runs per game in those starts, and he owns a 10-3 record vs. the Cubs, and the Cubs have scored more than four runs in his starts against them just one time. Play on Pittsburgh.
