(FD) Hitter friendly Wrigley weather. Have Imanaga (3.80 SIERA/3.71 xERA) more than a run ahead of Lauer (5.27/4.70), who also has a 5 point lower GB%. LAD in lesser split vs LHP (proj LU 120 wRC+ still 3 points lower than CHC proj. LU v RHP). Proj. CHC LU nearly 50 point wRC+ edge L30 days. CHC best defense in the league (proj. def 38 point FRV edge). Bullpens are pretty close. Think BARTOLO may be a little off after deadline moves here. Also playing full unit on Cubs o4.5 team total, not yet available to track.
