It’s do or die today for the Chicago Cubs and they will turn to Yu Darvish to throw strikes when they square off against the Miami Marlins in a matinée at Wrigley Field. Darvish has been on his mark, with a record of 8-3, a 2.01 ERA, and a WHIP of just 0.96. Miami will counter with the rookie Sixto Sánchez, who has pitched well at 3-2 with a 3.46 ERA and a WHIP of 1.21, but he had issues in his last 2 turns, surrendering 9 runs in 7 innings of work. The Marlins could be without Starling Marte, and despite Wednesday’s win, they are 2-9 in their last 11 against Chicago. Rizzo and company will come to play.
