Cubs starting pitching has been historically good so far, thanks to three aces.

This isn’t how it was expected to go. The Cubs weren’t supposed to run off their best start since 1907, at 13-3, bolstered by a starting rotation that was viewed, by many, as a serious question mark heading into the season.

Despite left-hander Jose Quintana‘s preseason injury, Cubs starters lead the National League with a 2.55 ERA, a 0.90 WHIP and .193 opponent batting average.
