Cubs really make starters work - 21/L24 RH SP have stayed under this line. They see the most pitches per PA (4.09), and they are 11th in wRC+ vs RHP over the L2 weeks. Nola has been better of late - but the wind will also be blowing out today, with a chance of a rain delay. Even without the weather component, the Cubs have proven this line is very difficult to clear.

Over 8.5-122
