Prediction: Cubs 5-2
The Chicago Cubs lost game one in an ugly manner. They left five men on-base between the seventh and eight innings alone. Corey Kluber, Cleveland Indians starting pitcher, dominated the Cubs lineup early, striking out eight of the first nine batters of the game, a postseason record.
Game two will see Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta versus Trevor Bauer, Cleveland Indians’ drone-flying starting pitcher.
Arrieta has a 4.92 ERA this postseason and has struggled to command the baseball since the end of June. Trevor Bauer has only started once this postseason due to cutting his finger while attempting to fix his drone.
