Chicago got a masterful pitching performance from Shota Imanaga, who pitched seven scoreless innings, and the Cubs beat the Pirates 1-0 on Saturday to improve to 14-8 at home. They have an opportunity for another win today as Jameson Taillon is on the mound and he is 3-1 with a 1.61 ERA. Taillon is looking to bounce back from his worst performance of the season as he lost 7-0 at Atlanta on Tuesday. He is 3-0 with a 1.08 ERA and a .194 opponent batting average at home and he owns a 0.82 ERA in day games. Pittsburgh has lost six of 10 and the Pirates are 12-14 on the road. Mitch Keller has a .300 opponent batting in road games and a 5.32 ERA in four day games this season. Take the Cubs.
