The Cubs waited until the late innings last night to get their bats going in their loss to the Pirates. They did have chances to score earlier, stranding 9 runners through the first five innings. They will be facing a pitcher with an ERA over 9 and has not gone over 90 pitches since April. Throw in a bullpen with the 29th-ranked ERA and 30th-ranked WHIP and you see a lot of runs from the Cubs. The Cubs rank seventh overall in runs scored and ninth in OPS. Jameson Taillon just gave up five runs to this Rockies lineup. Take the over in this one.

Play on the OVER. This is a 5% MLB NL TOTAL OF THE YEAR
