Cubs at Pirates 5/28/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Cubs and the Pirates are going to have a great game here in what is sure to be an amazing battle between these two teams for who is going to get second place and potentially land in 3rd to 4th place. The Cubs and the Pirates and even the Cardinals are the three teams battling for those positions and what is really shocking is the fact that it is only a half game of separation between the teams.

The Cubs are coming into the game with a decent pitching staff that is sitting at a 3.38 ERA on the year so far. The hitting for the Cubs has managed to get a total of 248 runs across the plate on the year and has managed to hit at a decent .256 on the year.

The Pirates, on the other hand, are countering with Chad Kuhl. Kuhl does not go deep in the games with only 55.2 innings in 10 starts, but he has struck out 53 batters. At the same time the Pirates have seen Kuhl go 4-2 with a 4.20 ERA.

The Pirates offense has been playing great on the season so far and the pitching staff has done decent at shutting down the opponents when it comes to hitting. Look for the Pirates to be able to contain the Cubs offense in this game and the Pirates offense to have a decent outing as the Pirates bring home a win here off of small ball tactics. Pirates win the game 4-2.
