"Cade Horton should be able to limit them. Horton should have been on the bump for the opener, but that honor is more about seniority and emotion."
"Across his last two starts, he allowed on runs on seven hits with 13 strikeouts and one walk. He got up to nearly 99 mph, harder than he threw at any point in his rookie season."
"Only Austin Gomber (15.1%) and Cal Quantrill (15.7%) have lower strikeout rates than Mikolas (16.0%) over the last three seasons."
The Cubs started the season poorly with a 10-4 loss to the Nationals. Cade Horton is expected to limit the Nationals' offense. Horton showed improvement in his last Cactus League starts, achieving nearly 99 mph and strong strikeout numbers. The lineup includes key players like Michael Busch, Alex Bregman, and Nico Hoerner. Miles Mikolas, a former Cardinals starter, has struggled with low strikeout rates, which may benefit the Cubs' hitters in the upcoming game.
