Chicago Cubs At Pittsburgh Pirates 2017 MLB Expert Predictions
Written by Henry Watkins on June 15, 2017
Winning over 100 games, as well as a World Series, is a tough act to follow, but before this season began, the general consensus was that the Chicago Cubs were more than equipped to equal, or perhaps even better, their exploits from last season. The reality of life in professional sports is that the real world seldom matches up with the expectations that we create, and through the first portion of the season, the Cubs have not even been able to muster a .500 record to become one of the best MLB picks out there.
There have been all sorts of excuses used to explain what is going on, but it can all be summed up, quite simply, as a very good team that is drastically underachieving. This is a team that is loaded with talent, though, and you still feel that they will be able to go on a run that should take them to the top of the mediocre NL Central. They can potentially get that run started this weekend when they pay a visit to Pittsburgh to play their division rival Pirates.
