Chicago Cubs

Chicago is working on back-to-back 1–0 wins on Saturday for the third game against Pittsburgh. Cole Hamels dominated once again on Friday night, giving up just five hits and, obviously, no runs in seven innings.

Trevor Williams matched his seven innings for Pittsburgh but gave up a single run that proved to be the only run either team would score.

I don’t think the Cubs have to worry whatsoever about the Brewers overtaking them in the NL Central. The Cardinals look like they are going to overtake Milwaukee but five games is a lot to make up to take over Chicago.

So the Cubs are likely ticketed as the number one seed in the NL playoffs and NL Central Division champs again.

Pittsburgh Pirates

The Bucs also look to be done with about six weeks left in the season. Even worse, Tyler Glasnow looks like a different guy under the Rays’ pitching coaches. That trade for Chris Archer could turn out to be devastating.

Pittsburgh can’t shake loose of the .500 mark. It gets a game or two up or a game or two down but there isn’t any serious run in this team in September. The best has come and passed.
