The Cubs fell out of first place in the division with last night’s loss, but their position is more about the Brewers riding an insane hot stretch. As long as Craig Counsell‘s squad continues to play good baseball on the whole, they should be able to outlast their rivals to the north. Getting a win tonight would be a good way to start.
Matt Boyd is on the bump for the first time in 10 days as the Cubs balance the need to throw him as much as possible with the reality that his durability remains questionable.
