"The Cubs come into tonight's game winners of 12 straight, with four of those wins coming via walk-off. Michael Conforto capped off yet another W for a team that has embraced the chaos to make friends with good luck."
"Jameson Taillon could use a little help tonight as he looks to build upon his recent success in spite of issues with the home run ball. The big righty has given up nine dingers over his last five starts."
"Tonight's lineup has been rearranged a little with a southpaw on the mound, but Nico Hoerner is still leading off at second base. Alex Bregman serves as the DH, Ian Happ is in left, and Seiya Suzuki cleans up in right."
"Through his first seven starts, Abbott has a 5.87 ERA with the lowest strikeout rate of his career and a walk rate roughly 50% higher than last season."
