Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago Cubs: prediction for the MLB game

Pittsburgh Pirates have looked poor of late. They lost seven games in a row. First, the team traveled to New York, where they played against the Mets and the Yankees. The Pirates managed to put up a fight in two games - in game two against the Mets, they lost by one run; it was another narrow loss in game one against the Yankees. Back at home, the Pirates suffered another defeat in the opening game of the current series (2:3). 

Chicago Cubs came into this series off the back of a successful trip to Miami. In the opening game against the Marlins, the Cubs lost (3:10), but they managed to bounce back and defeated their hosts in the following two games (2:1, 4:3). Chicago then mounted a winning streak - last night, they recorded their third consecutive win (3:2). In the last seven away games, the Cubs lost only once.
