Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (32-33) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (30-36)

The red-hot Cubs come rambling into Pittsburgh for a 3-game skirmish this weekend (note: Cubs not actually red-hot). The Pirates are a really, really interesting team considering that they don't have an offensive standout this year, but they don't have any offensive black holes. From top to bottom, the OPS+ of the 8 position players is 122, 114, 106, 103, 103, 100, 98, 96. The Pirates are also good at shortening the game with their bullpen; getting there is another story.
