Cubs
Rangers
What's moving the score.
Leiter's recent form is a problem—6.28 ERA over his last three starts with the Rangers' offense limping at 3.69 R/G over the last month. Cabrera has been shakier (4.45 ERA L3), but he's still the better option against a Texas lineup missing consistency outside of Nimmo's 9-game on-base streak. The Cubs' offense is humming at 5.89 R/G with an 0.825 OPS, anchored by Happ's 28-game on-base streak and Crow-Armstrong riding 12 straight. The dome removes weather variance, but Cubs' pitching and offensive firepower give them the clearer path tonight.
