The Pirates are set to crash the Cubs' Wrigley Field party at 2:20 PM, armed with a .244 batting average that's a modest edge over Chicago's .223 clip. Carmen Mlodzinski (RHP, #50) takes the mound for Pittsburgh, looking to outdo Shota Imanaga (LHP, #18) and his Cubs debut. Imanaga has struggled early, with a 4.50 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 10 innings, while Mlodzinski boasts a 4.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 9 innings.
The Pirates come in with a 7-5 record, sitting just above the Cubs' 6-6 mark. Their pitching staff has been stingy, with a 3.33 ERA that's slightly better than the Cubs' 3.43. The real question is whether Mlodzinski can tame the Cubs' lineup or if Imanaga can find his groove. Chris Devenski's on the 7-Day IL for Pittsburgh, while Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki are day-to-day for the Cubs. Now it's your turn - will the Pirates keep their winning ways going, or can the Cubs right their ship? Make your pick on StreakChat!
