Last night LA skunked the Cubbies behind a dominant effort by Yamamoto (6 innings, zero runs, 2 hits, 9 K’s), but we are expecting some fireworks this evening at Chavez Ravine. Chicago sends Ben Brown to the hill and he has struggled mightily so far this season. These are not the seasonal numbers you want to have when battling the potent Dodger lineup: 11.2 innings, 10 earned runs, 17 hits and 9 walks. Last out versus the Padres, a lineup similar to the Dodgers, was more of the same: 4 innings, 5 runs, 7 hits and 4 walks. LA starter Roki Sasaki has also not quite found his footing, sporting a 4.15 ERA and a 2.08 WHIP in 8.2 innings. Sasaki faced the Cubs on March 19th and allowed 1 run and 6 baserunners over 3 innings. In this matchup we have two very good offenses facing off against two very mediocre pitchers on a warm 70 degree LA evening with the wind blowing out at 9 mph….a Perfect Storm for baseballs flying all over the park!
