The battle between Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates is about happen this Wednesday at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Kyle Hendricks and Miguel Yajure are the both starter players of the game.
The Pirates have not exactly been hot themselves going 2-6 in their last 8 games, but I do think there are some reasons to believe things might be getting slightly better in Pittsburgh with a few of their younger guys showing promise.
The Pirates struggled over the past week and they’ve lost four of their last five games. They will try to turn things around with a win over the struggling Cubs, which will give them their second win in their last six games.
The Chicago Cubs are just 4-14 in their last 18 games and a lot of the blame for that run has to fall on the pitching staff who has been consistently getting knocked around over the last month or so. That is not too much of a surprise, as they do rank towards the very bottom of the league in terms of the important pitching statistics, but it has been especially bad as of late.
The Cubs have lost six straight games, but they played well offensively scoring 25 runs during the stretch. They are facing a Pittsburgh team that has lost four of their last five games with their pitcher struggling on the mound. Cubs pitching has also been bad during their losing streak, but they’ve done a better job than the Pirates.
