JP France is a reverse-platoon-splits guy, but that's becoming a bit less so this year as his changeup has lost some effectiveness. Busch is barreling everything right now. Wind is also out at Wrigley Field.

J.France u4.5 Ks-113

Weather at Wrigley favors hitting, and France is a low-strikeout guy. Have him projected at just 3.78 strikeouts tonight.
