Chicago Cubs (25-19) and Pittsburgh Pirates (19-25) will play their four-game MLB set starting Thursday night at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. This will be a thrilling rematch for the NL rivals after an earlier series at PNC Park. The Cubs won the series 2-1, scoring 21 runs in the process. In their previous league assignment, they avoided a homestead sweep against the Braves after winning the last game 7-1. The Pirates, on the other side, are in dire need of better pitching. They experienced a night to forget against the Brewers after their pitching gave up 10 runs. Their offense was also uninspiring in this game, managing just two runs. This performance summed up their pitching and offense, ranked 17th and 26th in the league, respectively. They must improve in these areas to get something in Chicago.
