Cubs will win tonight, don't get me wrong, Pirates are a great team. The Pirates probably have a better bull pen than the Cubs, it won't matter because Jake Arietta is pitching and they nay not even have to use it! Pirates might be able to steal a few more bases than the Cubs as well, won't matter if you don't have any base runners, you can't steal any bases.....Jake Arietta is pitching! No pressure on the Cubs either, they were not even suppose to be here for another year or two but the Pirates were expected to be here=pressure on Pirates. Arietta says he would rather pitch the game at PNC because it takes all of the daily distractions of home away. Last but not least, Joe Madden is the calming voice, no better manager in MLB, he will have the Cubs ready tonight. This is as easy as it gets.
Prediction
CUBS 2
PIRATES 0
