Before their 100 + year struck several seasons past, the Chicago Cubs and their supporters would’ve rolled off enjoy water on a duck’s back. All that changed after Tuesday’s drawback to the Cincinnati Reds fell the Cubs with the Brewers to the NL Wild Card that was next to a tie.
Cincinnati’s win helped the Reds into the season series title with Chicago as the clubs head to the rubber game of the group on Wednesday, also last assembly of 2019. Tyler Mahle (2-11, 5.11) is upwards for Cincinnati, whereas Jon Lester (13-10, 4.59) climbs the bump for the Cubbies that are chalked around -175 about the MLB Odds board.
Chicago never trailed Kyle Schwarber’s 3-run blast in the first, in Monday’s series opener major the Cubs. Schwarber was back it Tuesday night with a double and triple among his three hits, as the Reds constructed a guide that is fast off Yu Darvish in their way to a 4-2 triumph in a game the Cubs -160 shut but it was not sufficient. The closing in Game 2 of this series stopped a series of’overs’ for Chicago.
A demotion to the minors in July does not seem to have assisted Mahle much, the righthander pitching into a 6.43 ERA and letting 4 HR at 14 IP in 3 starts this month since being remembered. He faced the Cubs in May, while downing 3 HR, Mahle start against them in 2019, and had been roughed up.
Lester picked up his third win in four missions Friday though it had to do with the bats of Chicago than his arm. The 35-year-old was charged with seven runs (4 earned) in five innings, making him with the 8.43 ERA in his final four home begins. Cincinnati was come in by both of his starts this season against the Reds, those excursions being split by the Cubs. Eugenio Suarez has appreciated facing Lester, moving deep five occasions and batting .359 at 39 career .
After five of his last seven plate assignments hurdled the extremities, the show wraps up with Tony Randazzo at the dish, the veteran umpire 10-8 O/U in 2019. It’s the first time in the dish at Wrigley since Game 5 of this 2016 World Series, also a Cubs triumph of the Chicago native. 1 note to make will be house favorites around -180 are this year with Randazzo calling strikes and balls.
It ought to be a nice night on Chicago’s North Side with temps in the 70s under clear skies, and only a light SE breeze (right to left). My MLB choice will be on Chicago pay for a run lineup and to bounce back in a big way.
