CLEVELAND @ CHICAGO CUBS (CHC -154, 8.5)
CUBS ML
Shoto Imanaga get his second start post-injury. He was actually very good in that start, pitching five innings and throwing 77 pitches. Imanaga didn't allow a run and gave up just one hit to the Cardinals. The Cubs won the game 3-0.
Tanner Bibee starts for the Guardians. He's been pretty good all season with a 3.90 ERA, but Cleveland has lost 4 of his last 5 starts. He also doesn't pitch that well on the road. His road ERA is 4.96 and 12 of the 15 home runs he's served up this year have come on the road.
Cleveland struggles to hit left-handed pitching. We saw it last night against the Cubs' Matthew Boyd. Chicago won the game 5-2. Cleveland has lost 6 of its last 7 games. In 4 of their last 5, the Guardians have scored 2 runs or less and they've been shut out 3 times.
The Cubs are 26-15 at Wrigley Field this season. They have won 4 of their last 6 games and their bullpen has the second-best ERA in MLB.
