Cubs Pirates start next to the last series of the season. Although mathematically Cubs have a chance, both teams are pretty much done for the season.

Pirates went from -18 to -26 in the last two weeks which is very very bad. Both BAT and PITCH tanked equally.

That is all for now. Playoff season coverage coming next. Until then ….
