Joc Pederson leads off in left tonight as the Cubs face the best pitcher on Planet Earth. Anthony Rizzo is at first, Javier Báez handles short, and Ian Happ is in center, followed by Patrick Wisdom at third and Rafael Ortega in right. Eric Sogard plays second and José Lobatón brings up the rear behind the plate.
Kris Bryant is out of the lineup after being hit in the hand by a pitch, though x-rays were negative and he may be available if necessary.
