The MLB NL East Division will have some activity next Tuesday, September 03rd when Chicago Cubs receives Pittsburgh Pirates for their second game of the series. In this regard, even when the Cubs could look at the favorites to win, it’s evident that the Pirates have nothing left to lose, so it looks like they would prepare this game to win.
When looking at Chicago Cubs’ performance, it can be found that they’re in the second spot of the NL Central Division, but they’re 9.5 games behind Milwaukee Brewers. Nevertheless, being 3.0 games behind the Wild Card spots will motivate Ian Happ to carry on with his impressive batting performance, as he has scored 79 runs and 23 home runs.
On Pittsburgh Pirate’s case, this team is at the bottom of the NL Central Division with a 63W-73L record. With those numbers it’s very difficult for them to comeback during the last rounds of the season, but Bryan Reynolds must give everything he has on his plate to carry on as the offensive leader with 64 scored runs, 21 home runs and 149 hits.
