The Pittsburgh Pirates were swept earlier this year by the Chicago Cubs and they will seek revenge today when they travel to Wrigley to play an afternoon delight. Pittsburgh is sending the lefty Francisco Liriano to the hill and he has had success against the Cubs. Liriano in 11 starts against Chicago is 5-2 with an ERA of 2.27 and he is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.56 at Wrigley. Jason Hammel gets the nod for Chicago and in 12 starts against the Bucs he is 6-5 with an ERA of 4.00. Andrew McCutchen is starting to heat up and in his career against Chicago he is batting .312 with 16 home runs. Taking the dog in this one.
