CHC o3.5 Team Total-145

Chicago is 3rd in scoring per game. Tonight's projected lineup has a .166 ISO and a .366 wOBA against left-handed pitching since the start of 2024. Those marks would've ranked 5th and 1st, respectively, for the 2024 season. Patrick Corbin has an ERA of 5.20 or worse in each of the past 4 seasons. He’s ranked 1st, 1st, 3rd, and 1st in runs allowed over the past 4 years. The weather should be fine tonight. Meteorologist Kevin Roth's WeatherEdge tool shows a 7.5% decrease in home runs, a 1.6% increase in scoring, and a 1.2% increase in ERA based on 54 games matching these conditions. It’s a negligible impact.
