These aren't the best of offenses, but the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field changes everything. We're talking wind in the 20-25 mph range that could get up to 35 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

That makes even the most feeble offenses highly potent.

The pitching matchup is Zack Thompson, who has a 9.00 ERA, versus a declining Kyle Hendricks. So we're not talking aces either on the mound. Hendricks has a 3.99 lifetime ERA against the Pirates.

I've loaded my fantasy lineup today with Pirates and Cubs. It's going to be fun to watch the scoring fireworks.
