Play of the day: cubs team total under 3.5 -135
Tyson ross last 7 games combined numbers look like this 43 innings 7 ER 42 K's 6 walks 1 hr
His last 3 games numbers look like this 20 innings 1.35 era .269 obp 1.00 whip
Hes pitched 8 quality starts in his last 10 games only the nats & mariners were able to tag ross for 5 runs. Those are obviously much better hitting teams then the cubs.
Now the cubs are only hitting .207 & .277 obp 3.45 avg runs in heir last 10 games
This is bad news cause in 136 innings this year tyson ross opponents are hitting only .224 and his whip is 1.17.
The guy that is on fire and cubs most dangerous hitter is anthony rizzo who is batting .471 post all star break. Wellington castio is batting .313 post all star break but is not in the starting lineup today.
So with the way ross is pitching lately i can see him completely dominating the cubs weak lineup tonight if he can take care of rizzo. He is the most dangerous batter and he'll have to be very careful with him
To me tyson ross numbers look down right dominating and the cubs are horrible offensively unless rizzo is jacking homers. I can definitely see him going 7 strong innings tonight and the cubs will most likely help him out by grounding out and popping up. I see about 5 relievers in the padres bullpen with solid numbers and if they only need two innings out of their bullpen tonight i think they'll do fine with the cubs lineup.
