San Francisco ranks dead last in OPS (.616) versus left-handed pitching, and collectively current Giants are 9-for-49 with a .522 OPS against Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd. Boyd owns a 2.14 ERA over his last 12 starts. I like the Cubs to get to Justin Verlander, who gave up seven earned runs in his last start. The 42-year-old has yielded the highest WHIP (1.44) since his rookie year in 2005. Back Chicago in the first five.
