Cubs lineup:
Phillies lineup:
Edward Cabrera has been as advertised so far this year. His power changeup results in a lot of strikeouts â 17 in 22.2 innings. It also has led to a fair number of walks, 11, which is too many. Cut down on the walks and he can dominate.
One really good thing: He hasnât allowed a home run yet this year.
Last year he made two starts against the Phillies and allowed four runs in 10.2 innings, with four walks and eight strikeouts. Kyle Schwarber has homered twice off him, so⊠that would be something to try to prevent.
Cristopher SĂĄnchez threw six innings against the Cubs April 13 in Philadelphia and allowed two runs. Dansby Swansonâs homer accounted for both of those runs.
SĂĄnchez threw six innings and allowed one unearned run to the Braves last Saturday in Philadelphia. He was one of the top pitchers in MLB last year (8.0 bWAR, second in NL Cy Young voting) and his 2026 season has begun the same way. He will be tough to hit this afternoon.
Here is the weather forecast for the area around Wrigley Field. The wind should be blowing out this afternoon.
Todayâs game is on Marquee Sports Network. Itâs also on MLB Network (outside the Cubs and Phillies market territories).
