Jesus Luzardo has been a disaster in three of his four stars, the lone bright spot vs. the hapless Rockies. The Cubs, meanwhile, have a .909 OPS vs. LHPs the last two weeks. The Phillies’ similar split is .558 – not good enough against Shota Imanaga, who in three April starts has a 1.05 ERA and 0.53 WHIP.

The Cubs offense has somewhat broken out in the last week, but still isn't fully firing. There were good signs from Michael Busch and Alex Bregman on Monday. The Cubs obliterated Jesus Luzardo last week and see him again. Meanwhile, Cubs starter Shota Imanaga has a 1.06 ERA in his last three starts, dominated the Phillies last time out and the Phillies are putrid against lefties (.176/.274/.275).
