The Cubs open as an underdog Saturday afternoon after a comeback win in extra innings on Friday. Jason Hammel vs. Julio Urias is a pretty even match on paper, but the model still favors the Cubs against a young pitcher like Urias. Urias hasn't pitched past the sixth inning at the major-league level, and the wOBA model projects him to only last five innings -- at most -- this afternoon. I'm projecting the park shift to really help Hammel on the mound more than it hurt the Cubs hitters at the plate. The Cubs have the highest road-team wOBA and should find a way to win this day game at Dodger Stadium.
