After splitting the first two games in Cleveland, the Indians and Cubs will now face off for the next three games at Wrigley Field – Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kyle Hendricks gets the nod for the Cubs. Hendricks is 17-9 on the season, with a 2.09 ERA, and a WHIP of just 0.96. The Cubs are 16-5 in Hendricks’ last 21 starts and 9-2 in his last 11 home starts against a team with a winning record. Cleveland will counter tonight, sending Josh Tomlin to the hill, who is 15-9 on the season, with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. The Indians are 3-7 in their last 10 meetings with the Cubs and 1-4 in their last 5 meetings at Wrigley. I like the Cubs in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Chicago Cubs
