The Pirates are a mess and the price is low enough to get involved with the Cubs in a pitching matchup of Kyle Hendricks against Joe Musgrove.

Hendricks is as steady as ever with five quality starts in his last six outings. He has a 3.16 ERA on the season. Hendricks is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in five career starts at PNC Park. It's safe to believe Hendricks is going to be stingy and the Cubs hold a huge bullpen edge.

Chicago has won four of its last five games while the slumping Pirates are 2-9 in their last 11 games and have dropped four in a row.

Musgrove is more of a reliever. This is his second start of the year. He has made 26 career starts and has a 5.11 ERA in those appearances.
