Result: Loss
The Indians are threatening to take a 3-1 World Series lead and win a second straight game at Wrigley Field. I don't see it happening.
Yes, there's a concern about the Cubs not scoring runs. I can't stand watching Jason Hayward, who has become an automatic out when he plays. But if you take away the Indians' 6-0 opening game World Series victory, Cleveland isn't scoring either. The Indians, discounting that first game, have scored six runs in four games.
The Cubs are 21-6 following a loss. They have won 36 of their last 51 home contests.
Indians starter Corey Kluber is going on just three day's rest. Both Andrew Miller and Cody Allen pitched more than an inning last night.
Cubs starter John Lackey is an experienced post-season pitcher. He pitched his best at Wrigley Field this season going 7-4 with a 2.62 ERA. The Cubs have won Lackey's last five starts and six of his past seven home starts.
