"Ian Happ, Nico Hoerner, and Michael Busch have had significant success against Miles Mikolas, with Hoerner boasting a .359 average and Busch hitting three home runs in limited at-bats."
"Pete Crow-Armstrong has been a nightmare for Mikolas, achieving seven hits, including five homers, in just nine at-bats, showcasing his potential impact in today's game."
"The Cubs lineup is nearly identical to Opening Day, with Miguel Amaya stepping in for Carson Kelly, indicating confidence in Shaw's performance in right field during Suzuki's absence."
