          The D-Backs are 16\u201315 on a TWO-GAME LOSING STREAK<\/strong> after we beat them 6\u20135 yesterday. They’ve lost 7 of their last 10 games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                • D-Backs have lost 7 of 10<\/li>\n
                • But Vargas is SCORCHING hot (.404 average!)<\/li>\n
                • Nelson has a 7.71 ERA (vulnerable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  The D-Backs are struggling but Vargas is hitting .404!<\/p>\n

                  Key Matchups at Wrigley Field<\/h2>\n

                  Shota Imanaga (3.15 ERA) vs D-Backs Lineup<\/strong>
                  \nImanaga has been solid (25 Ks in April). The D-Backs have lost 7 of 10. Keep them down at Wrigley!<\/p>\n

                  Cubs Offense vs Ryne Nelson (7.71 ERA)<\/strong>
                  \nNelson has a 7.71 ERA<\/strong>! We scored 6 yesterday. ATTACK HIM early and often!<\/p>\n

                  Stopping Ildemaro Vargas (.404 Average)<\/strong>
                  \nVargas went 4-for-4 yesterday with a 27-game hitting streak. He’s hitting .404 (MLB lead). Need to get him out!<\/p>\n

                  NINE-Game Home Win Streak<\/strong>
                  \nWe’ve won NINE STRAIGHT at Wrigley Field. Protect home turf and make it TEN!<\/p>\n

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

                  Shota Imanaga Dominates<\/strong>
                  \nImanaga has a 3.15 ERA and 25 Ks in April. Shut down the D-Backs and get the win.<\/p>\n

                  Offense ATTACKS Nelson’s 7.71 ERA<\/strong>
                  \nNelson has a 7.71 ERA! Jump on him early like we did to Gallen yesterday (3 runs in 1st).<\/p>\n

                  Without Hoerner, Others Step Up<\/strong>
                  \nHoerner out with neck tightness. Shaw, Busch, Bregman, Swanson need to produce.<\/p>\n

                  Make It TEN STRAIGHT at Wrigley<\/strong>
                  \nNINE consecutive home wins. Win today and make it TEN IN A ROW at home!<\/p>\n

                  Cubs Fan Prediction: TEN IN A ROW at Wrigley!<\/h2>\n

                  Final Score: Cubs 7, D-Backs 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Shota Imanaga dominates\u20147 innings, 4 runs. Not perfect but gets the win.<\/p>\n

                  We ATTACK Nelson’s 7.71 ERA for 7 runs. Michael Busch stays hot. Ian Happ goes deep. Matt Shaw fills in for Hoerner.<\/p>\n

                  The D-Backs score 4 (Vargas gets his hits) but their two-game losing streak becomes THREE.<\/p>\n

                  Three-run win. We’re 21\u201312, NINE GAMES OVER .500<\/strong>. FOUR-GAME WIN STREAK<\/strong>. TEN STRAIGHT WINS at Wrigley Field<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

                  Why Game 2 Matters<\/h2>\n

                  We’re 20\u201312 after winning 6\u20135 yesterday. Colin Rea improved to 4-1. We’re on a THREE-GAME WIN STREAK and have won NINE STRAIGHT at Wrigley Field. The D-Backs are 16\u201315 on a TWO-game losing streak (lost 7 of 10).<\/p>\n

                  Win today and we’re 21\u201312, NINE GAMES OVER .500<\/strong> with a FOUR-GAME WIN STREAK<\/strong> and TEN CONSECUTIVE WINS at Wrigley<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

                  Can Imanaga shut them down? Will we attack Nelson’s 7.71 ERA? Can we make it TEN STRAIGHT at home?<\/p>\n

                  We went 78\u201384 last year. Going 21\u201312 with TEN STRAIGHT at Wrigley would be INCREDIBLE.<\/p>\n

                  Go Cubs Go. Make it TEN IN A ROW at Wrigley Field!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
