The Cubs evened the series in Gotham last night and now have a chance to win it with Kyle Hendricks on the bump. David Ross has shuffled the lineup around a bit, however, and this is definitely a funky batting order going up against a lefty they’ve had trouble against in the past. I have a pretty good feeling about this one just the same.
Hendricks looked great the last time out against the Braves…until he didn’t. After retiring the first nine batters he faced, he fell apart in the 4th inning and allowed seven runs on eight hits.
