00:00The Cubbies were an underdog yesterday in Wrigley in the opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.
00:08Chicago wins 3-1. Low scoring affair. Total today 8.5 with our central focus inside the friendly confines once again.
00:17Chicago an ever so slight favorite at minus 110 but minus 106 on the other side for the Brewers.
00:23A virtual pick'em. Who gets the victory at Wrigley?
00:27You're taking a look at probably the better pitcher in this game is going to be Jamison Tyone.
00:30Coming in on the card today at a 96 XFIP minus over the past 30 days. A 3.58 ERA and also a very manageable XFIP number of 3.86.
00:38He's going up against some hitters that have done well against right-handed pitching but not by a lot in that Brewers lineup.
00:43Christian Yelich has solid numbers along with Jackson Chereo but everybody else really leaves a lot to be desired.
00:49So you might have a pretty good pitching performance today on deck for Tyone.
00:52If we flip it over to the Chicago side, Colin Ray dominant over the past 30 days.
00:56Take a look at this. An 0-92 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 275.
01:01If you look in that lineup today, first five batters do have elevated weighted on base percentages.
01:06Horner, Bush, Suzuki, Happ, and Morell. Outside of that, Tauchman, Swanson, Neato, Pro Armstrong.
01:12Not very good but I am going to ride this out. I think Tyone's better than Ray is.
01:16I'll go with the Chicago Cubs. Now here's the tough part about this too Ben.
01:19You saw from their leadership group, I should say, right? General manager, front office.
01:23They're going to be sellers at the deadline.
01:25How motivated is this Chicago team when they're checking their phones every 30 minutes with their agent if I got traded or not?
01:31Buyer beware on the Chicago Cubs.
