The Chicago Cubs have dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates at home as of recent as they have won 4 of their last 5 meetings. The Chicago Cubs have been very good at home this season as they bring a 29-16 record into this matchup. While Yu Darvish has struggled a ton this season the same could be said about Chris Archer, and I like the bats of the Chicago Cubs a little more than Josh Bell and the Pirates. The Chicago Cubs are well rounded throughout their starting lineup as Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez is one of the best trios in baseball. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Cubs win 7-4.
