Kyle Hendricks is starting for the Cubs in this game and he is 0-3 with a 12.00 ERA this season. He has been awful in all of his starts this season as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his 5 starts, and he has not pitched more than 5 innings in any of his starts either. Bailey Falter is starting for the Pirates here and he is 2-2 with a 4.34 ERA this season. He is coming off of a start which he allowed 3 earned runs in, but he has also allowed just 2 earned runs or less in 4 of his last 6 starts and has been more consistent on the mound than Hendricks has been. The Pirates also found their offense in their win over the Cubs on Saturday so they are going to have no trouble scoring some runs here with how bad Hendricks has been this season. The Pirates will win this game.
