Result: Win
Play: Miami Marlins
Rating: 8*
The Chicago Cubs are boasting the best record in the major leagues, but the team has lost five of its last six games. There are 10 Cubs players on the disabled list, including their starting outfield of Kyle Schwarber, Dexter Fowler and Jorge Soler. I think they'll struggle with the Miami Marlins the rubber match of this three game set Sunday afternoon.
Jose Fernandez (9-3, 2.36) takes the ball for the Fish. He held Atlanta to one hit through seven scoreless innings his last start to improve to 6-1 with a 1.78 ERA in eight home starts this season. He has allowed one run or fewer in seven of his last eight outings overall and will make his first career start against Chicago.
Jason Hammel (7-3, 2.55 ERA) takes the ball for the Cubs. He's 2-4 when starting against Miami with an ERA of 4.07 and a WHIP of 1.27. The Cubs have lost each of his last three starts and he conceded four runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Cardinals his last time out.
Cubs are 2-7 in Hammel's last nine Sunday starts while the Marlins are 5-0 in Fernandez's last five Sunday starts. Home team is 22-5 in umpire John Hirschbeck's last 27 Sunday games behind home plate and the Marlins are 27-3 in Fernandez's last 30 home starts.
