The Cubs are well-placed to be the top wild card in the NL and get the opening round at home. So not sure how much attention will be allotted the Pirates, who have blown hot (and mostly) cold throughout the season. Yet plenty of encouraging signs for another Bucs rookie hurler, Braxton Ashcraft, who continues to impress, and brings a 2.47 ERA into tonight as Pittsburgh deals with Jameson Taillon, who experiences a homecoming of sorts tonight (a Pirate from 2016-19). Play Pirates on the Money Line.
