The Chicago Cubs open the 2023 with a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Bring your mittens and balaclavas. See below for the daily matchups, such as they stand. Updates to come as the Cubs announce their starters for games two and three.
Game 1, March 30, 1:20 pm central
CHC: RHP Marcus Stroman (0-0, -.-- ERA)
MIL: RHP Corbin Burnes (0-0, -.-- ERA)
Stroman had a somewhat disappointing 2022, posting 6-7 record and 3.50 ERA for the season, but finished strong along with the rest of the Cubs' pitching staff. He warmed up for competitive play pitching for Puerto Rico in the WBC--unlike his Brewers' counterpart, who sat out the international competition in favor of staying with his teams' camp.
