If anyone expects the Chicago Cubs to slow down, it appears that it won't be happening anytime soon. The team has rolled to a league-best 43-18 record and has quickly separated from the rest of the NL Central. The Cubs will host the divisional rival Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game set this weekend, and two of those games serve as this week's top MLB games.
