"The Chicago Cubs lineup looks a little different tonight, but that's mostly circumstantial. Despite his struggles, Michael Busch probably isn't moving down to sixth on a normal day against a righty."
"Happ hasn't actually been all that great against lefties, himself, this season, though it's still above average overall. He has really been hitting the ball well over the past two weeks."
"Shota Imanaga's last twelve innings are LOL-worthy: 12.0 IP, 3H, 1ER, 2BB, 20Ks. That's just an incredible performance leading into this matchup."
The Chicago Cubs are currently enjoying a six-game winning streak as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cubs previously scored nine runs against pitcher Jesus Luzardo, making this matchup seem promising. The lineup features changes, with Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki moving up, while Alex Bregman takes a half-night off at DH. Shota Imanaga is the starting pitcher, boasting impressive recent stats with 20 strikeouts in his last twelve innings. The Cubs aim to continue their winning momentum against the Phillies.
