The Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers, two teams striving to stay in the playoff in the picture, will clash in Game 2 of their series on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs (62-64) have overtaken the St. Louis Cardinals (61-64) for the No.2 spot in the NL Central this week. However, they are long way go from catching up the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers (73-52), who have now built an 11.5-game lead on them. The Cubs have produced terrific pitching numbers in their last games, posting a 2.80 ERA and .291 OBP. The Tigers have 6 of their last 10 games to push their regular-season record to 61-65, good for fourth place in the AL Central Division. Despite their current position, Detroit has dazzled on the mound with a 1.60 ERA in their last five assignments.
