Pittsburgh at Chicago

The Chicago Cubs have had a quiet season, but they have gotten red-hot, and suddenly they are 3 games behind the Atlanta Braves for the final wild card spot in the NL. The Cubs are now 20-8 over thei last 28 which includes 9 wins in their last 10 games. The Pirates have played their way into the basement in the NL Central and have been a woeful 7-19 in their last 26 games. The Pirates pitching is completely worn out and broken down as they have allowed 70 runs in their last 8 games, or 8.8 runs a contest. Cubs on a mission here. Make the play on the Chicago Cubs.
