Chicago Cubs
With the regular season unfolding, Chicago is tied with red-hot Milwaukee for the final NL wildcard. And as three clubs loom within 3.5 games of the Cubs’ postseason standing, tonight’s meeting vs. Pittsburgh is must-win for Chicago.
More so, after a 3-5 road trip against the Brewers and Padres, while among MLB’s best from Wrigley, the Cubs must handle business during their final 2019 home-stand.
Chicago is 5-1 vs. Pittsburgh since the All Star break. Though, this series represents their season’s most important set against the Pirates.
Kyle Hendricks takes the mound tonight looking to guide the Cubs to a fifth-straight victory in as many starts. During his most recent outing Sept. 9, Hendricks (10-9, 3.33 ERA) tossed five innings of two-run ball as Chicago ousted San Diego 10-2.
Though, even with this success, and his relative quality work against Pittsburgh, the Cubs have lost Hendricks’ last two outings against the Pirates. Both setbacks can be attributed to poor run support from Chicago as Hendricks has allowed three runs through ten innings this year vs. Pittsburgh.
