The 5-1 Cubs have been playing well especially on offense, where they are 2nd in BA and 7th in OPS over the last week. Wednesday's starter Stroman is 2-0 to start, with a pair of 6 inning starts, giving up 0 runs on just 5 hits. He was also very good in the preseason. Seattle's starter Gilbert has also been steady. He does give up more than his share of hits and lasted just 4 innings in his last appearance. While they scored 9 runs in a losing cause, the M's offense has been generally poor this season. The Cubs are looking for the Seattle sweep, out-hitting the Mariners in game two, and out-pitching them is game one. I like their chances for a win on Wednesday. Take the Cubs to bring out the brooms.
