Not my favorite Cubs play ever, but I feel almost obligated to play these Friday standalone matinees at Wrigley. Not a big fan of Chicago pitcher Jameson Taillon, but he has been better at home and during the day. Certainly prefer the Cubs' lineup. Maybe some urgency on a season-high five-game skid to fall out of first in the NL Central (stupid Brewers). Houston is 8-17 away. Spencer Arrighetti (5-1, 1.50 ERA) has been shockingly good, but he's not that guy. His road splits are significantly worse than at home; Arrighetti is 6-13 career away with a 5.15 ERA.
