That being said, Boyd (although feared in the past) has not been pitching like himself lately. He gave up six runs in his first start of the season before being placed on the injured list for two weeks. Heâs been better since returning but still sports a 5.79 ERA on the year. Boyd has also yet to go a full six innings in a game (5 2/3 at most). Thatâs good news for the Friars, who will hope to get to the Chicago bullpen quickly. Theyâve been mostly solid but have struggled to a 3.95 ERA to start the year, and are without closer Daniel Palencia. VĂĄsquez, on the other hand, has been San Diegoâs ace to open the season. Heâs tallied a 1.88 ERA and 1.08 WHIP to go with 30 strikeouts across 28 2/3 innings. Heâs been a beast on the mound for the Padres and has only given up more than one run once. Helping VĂĄsquez significantly is his history facing Chicago. The righty owns a .194 opponent batting average against the Cubsâ lineup. If he can limit them similarly (like heâs done to opponents all season), VĂĄsquez will have no problem tonight.
After some early tweaking by manager Craig Stammen, the lineup has been more or less set lately. It seems likely that continues tonight against Boyd, looking something like this:
Like I said, the San Diego bullpen looked rough yesterday. But thatâs hardly an indication of a downhill turn for the group. Theyâve been dominant this year, ranking third in the majors with a 3.03 ERA. The high-leverage guys (Jason Adam, Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller) have continued to be dominant â showing no signs of stopping. Miller took the franchise record for scoreless innings pitched this weekend and will look to extend it tonight if San Diego has a lead in the ninth. Behind those three is Kyle Hart, who will surely be first out of the âpen if VĂĄsquez doesnât perform as well as he typically does. Hart can cover several innings well for the Friars with his history as a starter, though he hopefully wonât need to so long as VĂĄsquez pitches a gem.
