The Chicago Cubs will take on the Chicago White Sox today starting at 1:05 PM MST at Sloan Park. That’s assuming the rain that’s forecasted for today holds off long enough. It doesn’t rain often here in Phoenix so when it does the locals – me included – tend to enjoy the break from the sun.
For their part, the Cubs will be marching out a pretty nice lineup for this early in spring training. In fact, the 1-5 spots in the lineup are likely to be what we’ll see on opening day. Willson Contreras and Jon Jay are towards the bottom of the lineup today as well, so that’s seven projected regular season starters for today.
