T.Skubal u17.5 Outs-125

1.25u

Cleared this line for the first time this season in his last start - now on 4 days rest, it should be really tough to repeat. The Cubs won’t chase pitches (8th lowest chase %) and should drive up skubal’s pitch count (4.04 pitches per PA is the highest in baseball). Skubal himself is at 4.05 pitches per PA - would rank 13th/104 if he qualified. Cubs bats have been hot the first two games of this series - as long as they get just a few people on base the first 5 innings, I don’t see Skubal coming out for the 6th.
