Chicago Cubs
The Cubs were on the ropes Thursday in their opener vs. Texas, but ultimately the offense settled in and scored a very comforting 12-4 win. The Cubs rattled off 13 hits in that contest but in games like that fans always say “save some for the next game.”
Javy Baez picked up right where he left off in an MVP caliber season last year, belting out 2 HRs in the ’19 opener. Anthony Rizzo drew 3BBs and in a bright spot for Chicago, Kris Bryant looks healthy after slugging his first home run of the season.

A familiar face takes the mound in the second game of the series as Yu Darvish starts against his old team. This is the 1st time Darvish makes a start vs. Texas after spending 2012-2017 in Arlington.
The Cubs are very anxious to see what they get from their pitching investment as Darvish was limited to just 8 starts last season. Darvish was unrestricted in Spring Training, but did have some blister issues recently.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers scratched in two late runs Thursday but ultimately looked overwhelmed by Cubs starter Jon Lester. Elvis Andrus did have a 3-4 day which was a bright spot which was a bright spot for the Texas offense.
Only four Rangers players have every faced Darvish, led by Asdrubal Cabrera who is 5-16 (.312) with a HR. The Cubs did use four bullpen pitchers in the opener and you never know if Darvish is going to struggle or not. The Rangers may have a chance in this one even late.

It will be Edinson Volquez on the hill for Texas. If you think Darvish is a question mark, wait until Volquez takes the hill for the 1st time since 2017 after missing last season with Tommy John surgery.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. Texas Rangers MLB Prediction:
The Cubs have seen Volquez a lot from his time with the Reds with over 65 combined plate appearances. Volquez has had success against Chicago (8-0, 3.12) but it’s hard to expect him to pick up that pace after a season off.
