I’m going to abbreviate this one because heavy rain across the greater Phoenix area is making it look like Cactus League games are in dire jeopardy of being banged. In the event that they do play this transplanted crosstown rivalry, Colin Rea will be on the bump for the Cubs. He’s pitched very well in two starts so far, though four walks to five strikeouts in 4.2 innings doesn’t make for a great ratio.
