Chicago at Pittsburgh

While the Cubs and the Brewers sit at the top of the NL Central, no team has created enough separation that has really eliminated any of the five teams in the division. The Cubs have struggled all season to get on a long winning stretch so they enter this game at just 45-39. The Pirates have won 7-of-10 and have moved to within four games of .500 and continue to be in the race. The Cubs are coming off a long homestand and their first road series saw them drop 2-of-3 to Cincinnati and that leaves then at just 4-6 in their last 10. The Pirates are playing better right now, so take Pittsburgh.
