Alec Mills will start in his place and the Cubs chances of winning this game just dropped significantly … which probably means they’ll win in a blowout, because nothing about this season has made all that much sense so far.
If you thought yesterday was rough, I’m sorry to tell you it’s not likely getting any easier tonight. The Brewers top starter, Brandon Woodruff, is taking the mound against the Cubs (with his 97 MPH fastball, 31.0% strikeout rate, and 4.8% walk rate). He also just manhandled the Cubs his last time out, to the tune of 7.0 scoreless, one-hit innings with no walks and 8 Ks. So, yeah. Usually, when a team sees the same pitcher in short order you give the benefit to the batters, but I just don’t know if I can necessarily go
