It seems like we've been waiting for today for years. The much anticipated matchup between two of the powers of the NL, and more specifically, two of the top pitchers in all of baseball. There is no question that the Cubs are entering tonight's win and advance game feeling pretty confident, and they should. Jake Arrieta over the past three months has be amazing. In nine of his last 12 starts, he has allowed zero runs. Take a minute and let that sink in. It's almost unbelievable.
The Pirates however will be sending their ace to the mound in Gerrit Cole.
