Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Cubs Favorite to Win Again

Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs take on each other in another exciting matchup at PNC Park. After losing in the game in the last game, Pittsburgh Pirates will come hard at the opposition. Scoring will be difficult as the game proceeds, specially for Pirates. Both teams are having nail biting finishes and it seems as if both teams are taking turns to win. In the last game, Pirates could have sealed the deal, however, they have given an outside chance to Cubs to win.
