Wheeler has been dealing lately while posting seven-plus strikeouts at a 70% clip across his last 10 starts. However, nine of those appearances featured him pitching against teams with higher strikeout rates than Chicago. The Cubs are being sat down 20.2% of the time, tied for the fifth-best tally leaguewide.

The veteran starter has been enduring issues driving up his strikeout numbers against Chicago historically. He's gone Over 6.5 strikeouts just three times in nine career starts against the Cubs. The heavy juice is on the Over in tonight's matchup, so we'll ride the trends and fade the 35-year-old against one of MLB's most disciplined teams.
