It’d be cool if the Cubs could shut their opponents out every game. Yeah, they should do that. Yu Darvish has done really well against the Brewers in the past, so it’s possible. But just in case, the lineup should hang a bunch of runs on the Brewers this afternoon.
Kris Bryant is leading off at third with Anthony Rizzo, who bent his knee in an apolitical statement even boycotters could have enjoyed when he got low on a line-drive homer, following. Javier Baez is at short, Kyle Schwarber is in left, Willson Contreras is the DH, and Victor Caratini resumes his role as Darvish’s personal catcher.
