Pirates vs Cubs
Pirates
Despite the start that they have had this season, the Pittsburgh Pirates are still in third place in the NL Central. They have plenty of time to turn this around.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Pirates are currently only scoring 3.50 runs per game. They are also hitting .228 as a team, which is the 21st lowest in the league. They are struggling to get on base, and having a hard time scoring runs.
The team's defense has also been struggling, as they are currently allowing 4.62 runs per game. Aside from their offensive struggles, the Pirates' starting pitcher has also not been able to make quality starts this season.
Cubs
The Chicago Cubs started the season with a bang on the offensive side of the ball, but they have since cooled off. They are currently in fourth place in the NL Central, and they will need to start producing runs if they want to compete in these games.
The team's offensive output has been running, as they are currently only scoring 3.94 runs per game. This is the 20th most runs that they have scored per game, and they have the 18th highest batting average among all teams at .232.
The team's defense has also been a concern, as they are currently allowing over four runs per game. They are 22nd in most allowed runs, and it is making it hard for their pitchers to get out of jams.
