Yeah, I agree. I like runs here. I don't think Cubs lineup is really that great. It's a lot of strikeouts. Good pitching puts down lineups like this. I think Matz is underrated. Cubs completely out of sync at plate. Bryant (unbelievably overrated) has been hideous this postseason except when he ran into a cookie against the Cardinals. Rizzo surprisingly has been stifled. Schwarber really the only one that scares anyone. Soler too to some extent. Maybe genius Maddon will play Coughlan out there, cause that makes sense.
Hammel on the other hand, my goodness. Thing is you really probably are not going to see much of him. First sign of trouble, it will be someone else. Unfortunately for the Cubs anything of quality worked last night. We might even see Rodney. Yeesh.
Tough situation for me, I have already banked 3 winners on Mets here, do I really want to give any back on this matchup? Not sure. Almost want Mets to bag this one so can get some silly line on wildly overrated and ineffective all year Lester. Best part about Cubs is if you even suggest to one of their fans that any of their heroes (Lester, Arrieta, gulp Hendricks, Bryant) is maybe not that good they actually legitimately get mad at you.
