This is a 10* play on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Cubs lost Game 1 of this series by a score of 3-2 yesterday, but they still clinched a playoff birth after the Giants lost in Oakland. The Pirates have also clinched, but they still have plenty to play for, as they now trail the Cardinals by just three game with a home series versus St. Louis coming up next week.
Francisco Liriano will toe the slab for the Bucs, and he's been dealing of late. Liriano (11-7, 3.41 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on five hits over seven innings in a 3-2 win over the Dodgers in LA his last time out. He's 7-3 with a 2.47 ERA in 13 starts on the road, and 5-1 with a 3.10 ERA in 10 starts in day games. He hasn't faced the Cubs at Wrigley this year, but he's 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA in his last four trips to Chicago.
The Cubs hand the ball to Jason Hammel, who hasn't had much luck in afternoon games. Hammel (9-6, 3.79 ERA) allowed four runs on five hits in five innings in a win over Milwaukee hist last time out. He's 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in 10 starts in the afternoon.
The Cubs have lost four of their last five when Hammels starts versus the Pirates.
Take PIT.
