                Colin Rea (4-0, PERFECT) vs D-Backs Lineup<\/strong>
                \nRea is 4-0 with a perfect record. Keep it going at Wrigley Field!<\/p>\n

                Cubs Offense (5.4 RPG, 3rd in MLB) vs Zac Gallen<\/strong>
                \nWe’re the 3rd-highest scoring team in baseball. PCA is ON FIRE (homered back-to-back games). Attack Gallen at Wrigley!<\/p>\n

                Pete Crow-Armstrong vs D-Backs Pitching<\/strong>
                \nPCA has homered in back-to-back games (3rd and 4th of season). Keep the hot streak going!<\/p>\n

                Home Field Advantage<\/strong>
                \nWe’re 11-5 at Wrigley Field. The D-Backs are on the road. Protect home turf!<\/p>\n

                What the Cubs Need at Wrigley Field<\/h2>\n

                Colin Rea Stays Perfect<\/strong>
                \nRea is 4-0 this season. Stay undefeated and give us 6-7 quality innings.<\/p>\n

                Pete Crow-Armstrong Stays Red Hot<\/strong>

                Matt Shaw and Hoerner Keep Producing<\/strong>
                \nShaw had 3 hits yesterday (including homer). Hoerner has 26 RBIs. Keep the offense rolling.<\/p>\n

                Win the Series Opener<\/strong>
                \nWon the series in San Diego. Start the homestand right against the D-Backs.<\/p>\n

                Cubs Fan Prediction: Rea Stays Perfect!<\/h2>\n

                Final Score: Cubs 6, D-Backs 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Colin Rea STAYS PERFECT\u20147 innings, 3 runs. Improves to 5-0 at Wrigley!<\/p>\n

                Pete Crow-Armstrong stays HOT\u2014hits another homer (5th of season, THREE STRAIGHT GAMES!). Nico Hoerner drives in runs. We score 6 at Wrigley.<\/p>\n

                The D-Backs score 3 but Rea dominates at home. We win the series opener!<\/p>\n

                Three-run win. We’re 20\u201312, EIGHT GAMES OVER .500<\/strong>. Rea is 5-0<\/strong>. Homestand starts right!<\/p>\n

                Why the Series Opener Matters<\/h2>\n

                We’re 19\u201312 after WINNING THE SERIES 2-1 in San Diego. PCA homered in back-to-back games. We’re SEVEN GAMES OVER .500 and coming home hot.<\/p>\n

                Win today and we’re 20\u201312, EIGHT GAMES OVER .500<\/strong>. Rea stays perfect at 5-0. Start the homestand right!<\/p>\n

                Can Rea stay undefeated? Will PCA homer in THREE STRAIGHT games? Can we keep winning at Wrigley?<\/p>\n

                We went 78\u201384 last year. Going 20\u201312 with EIGHT STRAIGHT wins at Wrigley would be INCREDIBLE.<\/p>\n

                Go Cubs Go. Win the series opener and keep Rea perfect!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
