The Chicago Cubs have to improve their road record if they would like to be taken seriously on the season. However, one issue that the Cub have had on the year so far is the fact that the team has been unable to really put together a lot of wins on the road with only 16 road wins all year and 22 losses. The good news for the Cubs is they are facing the Pirates in this game and that could definitely help them out here as the Pirates are 2 games under the five hundred mark when playing at home.
Anthony Rizzo is the run production hitter for the Cubs on the season so far. Rizzo has managed to drive home 56 runners on the season. Javier Baez has ended up being the leading power hitter for the Cubs with a total of 20 homers. Willson Contreras has ended up hitting at a clip of .291 on the season.

The Pirates are coming in at home, but are facing a Cubs team that has been able to play decent on the season, even if they are not playing that great on the road. Look for the Cubs to continue to build upon the road record here as the Pirates have struggled quite a bit on the year and sadly for the Pirates faithful those struggles lead to a loss here to the Cubbies. Final Score, Chicago Cubs win 5-4.
