Don’t look now but the Chicago Cubs have just lost eight of their last nine games including four straight. The All Star Break cannot come any sooner.

A three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates looked like the perfect remedy as the Cubs have gone 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Pittsburgh and 10-2 in the last 12 meetings.

Maybe there’s nothing wrong with this team that won’t ultimately be fixed by Dexter Fowler and Jorge Soler returning from injuries, suggests Ian Castleberry of TheComeBack.com.

Remarkably, since Fowler landed on the DL, the Cubs now have the 2nd worst record in the National League.

The Cubs were listed around a -170 favorite to win on the road in Pittsburgh.  We trust few bettors will bite in the midst of this rough patch.

On Sunday, Chicago will start John Lackey, who has stumbled against the current Pirates lineup, allowing 36 hits off of 112 at bats with four home runs for a .321 average.
