The PLAY: 1H Chicago Cubs +120 D Smyly (LHP), R Detmers (LHP) Must Start
FREE PLAY: CUBS at ANGELS
In a contest featuring two left-handed starting pitchers, I'm inclined to put my money on the Cubs. The Cubs have been exceptional against left-handed pitching this year, ranking among the top seven in OPS, wRC+, and walk rate. Despite a recent slump, their performance against lefties remains top-notch. Reid Detmers goes for the Angels and he's confusing. While his strikeout numbers are good, he just hasn't had the kind of results many people thought he would. It's hard to back him against the ultra-disciplined Cubs, who are notorious for their patience at the plate, leading the league in pitches per plate appearance (4.12). Meanwhile, Drew Smyly has been amazingly consistent with the quality of his pitches and results. Smyly impresses with a 3.29 xERA, while Detmers has a less flattering 4.48 xERA.The reality is that while the Angels had been really good against Left Handed pitchers, they have been slipping as of late, falling to the middle of the pack since last month. I don't trust either bullpen in this matchup but do trust the Cubs bats to get to Detmers before the Angels do to Smyly.
Cubs in the First Five for me in this game.
