Chicago Cubs Preview

Now for the series starting on Friday, all their hopes lie on the 36-year-old veteran Jon Lester, who is all set for the opportunity to bounce back from an ugly defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers. In his game with the Brewers, his pitches were smacked around for nine hits and five earned runs in six innings, which resulted in a 6-5 team loss at home. the Cubs haven’t played nearly as well offensively at Wrigley Field than they have on the road. They rank in the bottom half of the league in hits (6.60) and run-scoring average.

Sox are now all set to knock off Cubs. They rank ninth in ISO (.194) and seventh in average home runs per game (1.64).  Dallas Keuchel has shown an amazing performance in the game.
