You’d take a split against Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg six days a week and twice on Sunday, but the the Cubs don’t have to face either of them in this one. Wait, did that even make any sense? Not really. Anywho, on with the lineup.
Kyle Schwarber is in the top spot once again, followed by Kris Bryant at third base and Anthony Rizzo at first. Javy Báez plays short and cleans up, Willson Contreras is catching, Daniel Descalso is at second, Jason Heyward is in right, and Albert Almora Jr. plays center.
They’ll be going up against Jeremy “Bat Outta” Hellickson and his 6.
