The Cubs’ offense has ground to a halt in New York, and they’ve yet to face perennial Cy Young candidate Jacob deGrom this series, though that changes tonight. Armed with a 100 mph fastball, a wipeout slider, and a tidy 0.56 ERA, he’ll face a Cubs team that is batting just .205 since starting the month with two wins over the Padres. That the Cubs are 8-6 in June is a testament to their strong bullpen.
