Pittsburgh has dominated the Cubs the first two games of the series. The Pirates outscored the Cubbies 23-6, including a 5-1 victory on Tuesday as Adam Frazier hit a three-run home run after a long rain delay. Chicago has lost three in a row and six of its last eight games while the Pirates have climbed back into contention in the NL Central, winning nine of its last 12. The Pirates have won five of Chris Archer's last six starts and the Cubs have lost five of their last six road games. Archer has been getting good run support and he has pitched much better at home where he has a 3.89 ERA and .230 opponent batting average. Yu Darvish still hasn't gotten on track this season with a 2-4 record and 4.98 ERA and he gave up five runs in five innings his last outing against Atlanta. Darvish faced the Pirates once this year and allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings. Take the Pirates on the runline.
