Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs – 7:40 ET
This season for Marcus Stroman has gone extremely similar to the remainder of his career. He succeeds by limiting walks, generating a ton of groundballs, and limiting homers. This season, his HR/9 is actually the highest of his career, but at 1.15, it still is not excessive. Today he faces a powerful Phillies lineup with real home run pop in the upper third. However, he has been solid the first time through the order with a 0.283 wOBA allowed the first time he faces a hitter. The wind in Wrigley is blowing from left to right fairly powerfully, which should help to keep the ball in the yard.
