Chicago at Pittsburgh

The Chicago Cubs appear to still be struggling from a World Series hangover with a 32-33 record, including 12-18 on the road. Pittsburgh has won four of its last five games while the Cubs have lost six of eight. The Pirates have also won four of the six meetings this season. The Pirates have won Trevor Williams' last four starts although he has been getting great run support. Eddie Butler has not made it past the sixth inning in any of his six starts and he comes off a 9-1 loss to Colorado when he allowed three runs on six hits in five innings. Butler's last road start was at San Diego where he was touched for six runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. The Cubs are 3-8 after a loss and 3-13 their last 16 road contests, including 1-8 against right-handed starters away from home. Take the Pirates.
