Tuesday's win brought the Cubs to 29-18 in divisional action, entering Wednesday. They'll have the edge in Thursday's series finale. Hendrikcks and Oviedo opposed each other back in Sept. 2020, when Oviedo was with St. Louis. Hendricks was great. Oviedo was not. The Cubs won 5-1. Tuesday's loss dropped the Pirates to 27-51 against winning teams, entering Wednesday. With an 8-14 Oviedo hasn't helped. He's got a 2.35 WHIP his last three starts. In those 12.3 innings, he issued 12 walks, while also allowing 17 hits. That many baserunners will catch up to Oviedo against the highly motivated Cubs. The Cubs won 21-0 the last time Hendricks started at home against Pittsburgh. Lay the price with Chicago.
