Cubs vs Rangers Series Previews - Cubs Look to Keep Rolling

"Bottom line, given the circumstances of the team and the things Brown has changed about himself (namely, the pitch mix), I think this is the right call. It's more detailed than that, but that's the bottom line: time to try again and gamble on the upside. We'll see. Offensively, there are plenty of nice things going on, but my favorite is PCA. Pete Crow-Armstrong has an 11-game"

The Chicago Cubs leave after a 7-0 homestand for a road trip beginning with three games in Texas against the Rangers, followed by three games in Atlanta against the Braves. After returning home, the Cubs play an away series versus the White Sox, then host the Brewers and Astros. The Braves are identified as a major test because they have played like the best team in baseball and share a record with the Cubs. The Rangers have struggled recently, holding a 17-20 record, going 3-7 in their last ten, and posting a -6 run differential. They are also below .500 at home. The Cubs plan to start three right-handed pitchers, while the Rangers perform much better against righties than lefties. Ben Brown starts the opener, with the decision framed as a gamble on upside based on changes to his pitch mix. Offensively, Pete Crow-Armstrong is highlighted as a favorite.
