Two reasons the projection lands on Chicago Cubs: Chicago Cubs’s scoring margin profile and Chicago Cubs’s recent stretch. Lineup vs. starter L/R splits matter more than season ERAs in a one-game sample.

Three things to watch

  • Net efficiency. Chicago Cubs has the cleaner scoring profile; New York Yankees needs the game state to get messier.
  • Pitching matchup. Will Warren (New York Yankees) vs. TBD (Chicago Cubs).
