Under in 12/15 starts, and just faced the Cubs last week (6 IP 4 K, despite 13 whiffs). I like the whiffs to come down in his second straight start vs CHC. Cubbies are at 19.7% K% over the L30 vs righties (even better on the road). And this is a a series with massive wild card implications - I expect both teams to have their pitchers on shirt leashes.
