Cubs @ Marlins: Lester vs Urena (Game 1!)
CHC (0-0): LHP Jon Lester (0-0, -.--)
MIA (0-0): RHP José Ureña (0-0, -.--)
First pitch: 11:40amCST
Opening morning baseball!
Lester (13-8, 4.33 in 2017) is the first out of the gate for a strong Cubs rotation. He’s looking to improve on what we hope was just a down year and not the new normal or the beginning of a decline. He went 6-5 with a 4.41 on the road in 2017. Equally meh. Prado is 7-16 against him. Realmuto is 3-8 with a HR.
Urena (14-7, 3.82) went 2-0 with a 2.45 against the Cubs last year. Overall, they are 10-38 (.263) against him. Our new lead-off man, Happ, is 3-5 with a HR. That’d be a nice way to start the season.
Tomorrow is Hendricks and Smith at 6:10pmCST.
Go Cubs!
