Monday was a day off for the simCubs and for the broadcast crew. The 55-23 Cubs will be back in action today, with Jon Lester (10-3, 2.36) taking the hill against the 42-36 Reds’ Anthony DeSclafani (6-3, 3.25).

Here too are profiles of Jon Lester and Anthony DeSclafani, with some data the game supplies:
Al will have more about the game in the game post at 2:30 p.
