The Wild Card between the Cubs and Pirates is at 19:08 Central time. Look into that what you will. Or don't. I can't tell you what to do. The experts here at Obstructed View have picked tonight's winner for you. What do you say? Tell us in the comments.
dmick89: Cubs 2-0
The Cubs have lost 8 of 9 starts by Gerrit Cole, but he hasn’t gone up against a team with someone pitching like Jake Arrieta has been. Everyone else has failed against this version of Arrieta. Kris Bryant hasn’t played as well on the road and has looked pretty bad at the plate at times, but I think he makes an adjustment against Cole and takes him deep early in the game. I don’t think Arrieta will need anything except for maybe a clean 9th by Hector Rondon.
If this game is tied late, the Pirates have a pretty big advantage in my opinion.
josh: Cubs
It will be a close game. But it's hard to bet against Arrieta. The Cubs are going to have to play smart and get a run or two early, or knock Cole out quick. I expect a low-scoring affair with many, MANY Ks.
Secretly I think the Pirates may win. They looked really good against the Cubs a week ago. And I don't trust our bullpen. But I'm a homer.
myles: Cubs 3-1
Just about anything can happen in a 1-game series, but Jake Arrieta is about the safest bet to shut down a lineup on any given day as exists in baseball these days. Pair that with a team too young to care that they are too young to be there, and I think the Cubs squeeze a victory from the grasp of a tremendously talent pitching staff and a potent, if boring offense.
Arrieta goes 8, Rondon goes 1
sitrick: Pirates
There's a good argument for the Cubs having the advantage in every aspect of this particular game. 2-1 Pirates in 11. Now is the winter of my discontent.
Just had a laugh thinking about the absolute worst case scenario.
Figure Jake goes 8 innings and feels something in his elbow pop around pitch 110, offense does nothing, javy breaks his nose diving into first for no reason, Bryant takes a line drive directly in the solar plexus, Soler's legs turn to dust fielding a routine popup. Coghlan hits a teaser rally homer to tie the game only to have Strop give up a 2 out walkoff grand slam in the 10th. Addison starts crying and Castro walks off the field giving everyone in the dugout the finger.
andcounting: Pirates
This pick is really just a passive-aggressive attempt at manipulating fate. If I'm being honest, I'd say I'd expect the Cubs to win 3-0 on homers by Schwarber, Castro, and Arrieta. But since I hardly ever speak honestly, I'll say the Cubs lose 10-9 to the Pirates on a Starling Marte walkoff. In a rare glimpse of honesty, I expect really great, heart-pounding, stroke-inducing baseball. I expect this game to literally dislodge a blood clot and cut off my brain's oxygen supply. Win or lose, I will likely lose the capacity to intelligibly react.

There are three scenarios I can see happening:
1) Jake Arrieta is Jake Arrieta one more time and the Cubs scratch a run or two and win.
2) The game is a draw between the starters and the Pirates walk-off against our bullpen.
3) The Cubs bring their hitting shoes and kick the crap out of Cole.
The Cubs win 2 of those 3 scenarios so I'm picking the Cubs but bracing myself for option 2.
So, of course, the Pirates will destroy the Cubs to make me look stupid.
berselius: Cubs 1, Pirates 0, Ulcers 6
Arrieta cruises but runs into trouble in the 8th but gets bailed out by Strop. Rondon makes it interesting in the ninth but closes it out. Cubs run is on back to back Bryant and Rizzo doubles.

what’s the strategy “Try hitting the ball. Don’t get fooled when h throws one of those where you think it’s a strike but it’s not. Maybe glower? Has anyone tried glowering?”

How do you pass out on leaflets? That sounds dangerous, and in no way a viable baseball strategy.
Also, the Cubs will win, because that’s just what they do now.

Even funnier. This is the FAN strategy. They’re doing something different every inning including chanting ARR-I-ETA, yelling BALL every time he throws a ball, etc.
Not JorgeQuote Reply
And it’s a fan thing that still plans for Arrieta to be pitching in the 6th inning. I think Cole will still be pitching in the 6th, but I’m hoping they get him out of there before that.

Sportsbook has the Cubs to win at 55.5% after opening at 51.2%, with 69% of the money on the Cubs. I don’t have a BP subscription, but I bet they have better odds for the Pirates, since it always takes PECOTA a while to start believing in transformations like Arrieta’s. O/U is 6. For those who love Pavement (check) and lack a soul (debatable), I think the bet is the Pirates and the under.

PerkinsQuote Reply
I’d bet Pirates, but that’s just because there’s no way I’m ever betting on the team I want to win. 55.5% is too high, but I buy 51.2%. I think some projection I saw today had the Pirates at 51 or 52. That seems about right when you take HFA into consideration and assume Arrieta isn’t the greatest pitcher in history.

If the umpire can throw a pitcher out if he thinks he was throwing at a batter, how is it that Watson didn’t get ejected? I know umpires usually issue warnings first, but I have seen the occasional pitcher ejected without a warning. I know it’s a postseason game too, but that was an obvious example of a situation in which the pitcher should have been ejected. I don’t get it.
