With the Chicago Cubs the team would like to show that they are able to win a lot of the games against opponents of all types. The downside is when playing on the road the Cubs have had a lot of struggles this year. The good news for the Cubs is the fact that the Pirates have been a team the Cubs have been able to beat on the year fairly easily.
This year the Pirates have managed to score a total of 4.72 runs a game, but that comes directly from the fact the Pirates have hit 9.72 hits a game. The bullpen for the Pirates has struggled a lot which definitely explains a lot of the losses on the year as they have a 5.01 ERA.
Betting Trends for vs

Final Score Prediction, Chicago Cubs win 5-4.
