Will the Cubs Continue Hot Streak vs. Giants?
Even though the Chicago Cubs haven’t brought a lot to the table this season, they’ve been playing some good baseball of late, which has the potential to continue into the weekend. Timely hitting has been a big part of the Cubs’ success after the All-Star break, and it’s not like Alex Cobb will light fear into their hitters’ eyes on Friday evening.
Cubs Projected Lineup:
CF Rafael Ortega
DH Willson Contreras
RF Seiya Suzuki
LF Ian Happ
SS Nico Hoerner
3B Patrick Wisdom
C Yan Gomes
1B Alfonso Rivas
2B Christopher Morel
Starting Pitcher: Marcus Stroman
Will the Giants Bust out of their Slump?
San Francisco was a team to watch entering this season because it was hard to see them living up to the expectations they brought to the table after winning the NL West last season. For the most part, a lot of this team has regressed to the norm this season, leaving them under the .500 mark, which should leave you hesitant in backing their side of the equation here.
Giants Projected Lineup:
3B Tommy La Stella
LF Joc Pederson
2B Wilmer Flores
1B Brandon Belt
RF Luis Gonzalez
SS Thairo Estrada
CF Mike Yastrzemski
DH Lamonte Wade
C Austin Wynns
Starting Pitcher: Alex Cobb
