Cubs 7.73 runs per game last 14 since Castro benching
Wind blowing W - straight out 15-20mph
Wisler is a low-strikeout, high-flyball rookie in his first Wrigley start
Wisler is being lead to the gallows here.
Hammel's last one was real bad, but he looks healthy and has come back strong after each tough outing. He can't go unscathed though in these conditions, so it's one where if he gives up 4 or 5 over 7, you're not going to end up complaining. He'll give up a long ball or two.
10-5 Cubs looks about right.
How are the books not adjusting to all of the runs the Cubs are scoring and the Wrigley conditions which are finally favorable for runs? Hasn't been the case a lot, but today shapes up to be the best hitters day at Wrigley this season.
