Why the Chicago Cubs Can Beat Jacob deGrom in Game 3

You could say the Chicago Cubs are in a "hair-owing" situation.

I'll log off soon, I promise.

Down 0-2 to the New York Mets in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series, the Cubs return to Wrigley Field for Game 3 tonight, facing what seems like a dire situation. In order to prevent falling into a nearly impossible 0-3 hole in the series, Chicago has to beat New York's ace, Jacob deGrom.

Seems like a tall task. After all, deGrom went 14-8 with a 2.54 ERA and a 2.70 Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) in 191 innings this season.
