Cubs will be looking to bounceback in this Game 2 series matchup with the Pirates after getting stomped 12 - 1 yesterday.

Cubs bats havent been hot lately and their pitching isnt anything to gush over, especially in this Game as we will be seeing Matt Swarmer on the mound who is 1 - 2 this season as the starter with a 5.23 ERA and 19 StrikeOuts in 20 innings pitched.

Pirates are trotting out Roansy Contreras, who has only allowed 8 hits and 1 Run in his only 3 games as the starting pitcher @ home this season.

I dont see this being another 11 run blowout, but the Pirates are playing good baseball at the moment and their young pitcher should do enough in the first 4 to 5 innings to let the bats take care of Swarmer and keep the lead.
