It’s Sunday and the Cubs have won the first two games of the series, which means they’re now facing a far more formidable nemesis than the White Sox. Craig Counsell‘s squad has won just once this season on a Sunday — five weeks ago in LA — and they’re 4-11 in series finales. They have won all eight series openers at Wrigley but have won only one closer, also against the Dodgers on a Wednesday. That means they have yet to win on Sunday at home.
Colin Rea is the right person to turn that around, as he remains undefeated in his surprisingly successful second stint with the Cubs.
