"With Jameson Taillon squaring up against Matt Waldron, this one has the potential to be a pretty high-scoring affair. So let's just hope the following Cubs lineup can win a shootout."
"Matt Waldron has carried very significant lefty/righty splits, with lefties slashing a particularly impressive .276/.350/.485 off him. With that in mind, Moises Ballesteros stays up in the Cubs lineup."
"Dansby Swanson is not in the Cubs lineup today after suffering a glute cramp last night. That leaves Nico Hoerner in to cover short and Matt Shaw at second base."
The Chicago Cubs are set to play against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, looking to secure a series win despite numerous injuries. The Cubs lineup features several adjustments, including Moises Ballesteros and Michael Conforto, who replaces Seiya Suzuki for a day off. Jameson Taillon will pitch against Matt Waldron, who has notable lefty/righty splits. Dansby Swanson is absent due to a glute cramp, leading to further lineup changes. The Cubs hope to capitalize on the matchup for a high-scoring game.
