The MLB is on an interesting phase as most of the teams have already faced between 38 and 40 games throughout the season, picture that is already showing the tendences for the rest of the season. In this regard, teams like Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Cubs have shown opposite levels, but they aren’t far from each other, so a short-term good streak can equalize them.
With that in mind, Pittsburgh Pirates is going to receive Chicago Cubs for the third game of their series next Sunday, May 12th, expecting to have more luck to avoid suspending the game due to rain. Even so, the spectacle has been a guarantee for the fanatics as both teams have been producing a lot of runs during the series, starting with 9 in the 2-7 victory for the Cubs in Game 1, and summing 12 runs in five innings during Game 2.
On Chicago Cubs’ side, this team is showing a very interesting level in the National League (23W-16L), but it’s a fact that they haven’t been consistent enough during their last series. However, they are the second-best team from the NL Central Division just behind Milwaukee Brewers, being important to remark that they have a 3-1 record against NL Central teams, advantage that they must use to win the last game of this away series against the Pirates.
