Chicago Cubs Lineup: Bote to 3B, Kris Bryant at DH – bleachernation.com

Chicago Cubs Lineup:
Kris Bryant, DH3. Kyle Schwarber, LF6. Willson Contreras, C7.
Dakota Hudson is starting for the Cardinals today, and, not unlike Adam Wainwright, his results this season (2.77 ERA) have actually been a lot much better than his underlying numbers (3.79 FIP). With that said, his 58.8% ground ball rate is pretty elite and his 88.9 MPH average exit speed is strong. Weirdly, righties have actually squashed Hudson this year, relative to lefties, though its such a small sample and the opposite is real for his profession.

Well, the other day sure stunk. Lets hope the Cubs have better luck today against right-hander Dakota Hudson and the rest of the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs do not have a load of experience versus Hudson, but there are a couple of notable matches, great and bad, to point out. Both guys are in the lineup today.
Aside from that, Kris Bryant is at designated player, with David Bote playing third, however there werent truly any changes to the lineup itself– a minimum of, not the ones Brett desired to see. At least at DH, Bryant can focus on hitting? I do not understand.
As usual, well have your full Pre-Gamin post closer to video game time (6:08 CT).
