Two of the National League’s best teams will start a three game set in sunny Los Angeles this weekend. The Chicago Cubs (81-45) will head to Hollywood to face the Los Angeles Dodgers (71-55) in what could possibly be a matchup we see come October. Here’s what you need to know heading into the weekend series.
Friday night will feature two lefties on the mound with 20-year old rookie Julio Urias (4-2 3.95 ERA) against the spot starting Mike Montgomery (1-1 2.77 ERA). Urias will be making the 12th start of his young career, coming off a great outing on Aug 21st.
