The Chicago Cubs are off a three game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers that knocked the Brew Crew out of first place in the NL Central. This will be a lot different, as they caught Milwaukee as cold as ice as the Brewers have dropped nine straight games, and 12 of 14. Pittsburgh is 1.5 games behind for the second Wild Card spot. Vance Worley has pitched well at 6-4 and a 3.01 ERA on the season, and his last outing was a 1 run 3 hit gem over 6 innings. The Pirates have taken care of business as a small to medium road favorite, turning in an impressive 12-4 mark in their last 16 as a road chalk from -110 to -150. Pittsburgh has also had the recent upper hand in this series at 4-1 in the last five meetings. Pittsburgh gets the call in this one.
