The Chicago Cubs have lost the first two of their 4-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates but I expect they get back on the rails when they play an early one today at Wrigley. Chicago will have the best pitchers in the majors toeing the rubber, southpaw sensation Shōta Imanaga and he has been almost unhittable. Imanaga is 5-0 with an ERA of 0.96 and a 0.94 WHIP. Are you kidding me!!! The Pirates are expected to have Bailey Falter on the bump. He comes in at 2-2 with a 4.18 ERA, a good WHIP of 1.04, and a 0-3 in his career against Chicago with a 8.41 ERA. The Cubs just needs a few runs and they should get them against Falter. Imanaga will take care of the rest.
