Cleveland has been led offensively by the big bat of Jose Ramirez. The 3rd baseman leads the team in 4 major categories with 16 HR’s, 44 RBI’s, a .353 OBP, on 65 hits.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs will look to build off their 2-0 over the Marlins on Sunday with a good 2 game stand against the Indians before hitting the road. Chicago has been great at home this season and are currently sitting at a 25-12 record.
Chicago’s offense has been a bit sporadic this season as they are 7th in runs per game in the NL but are 14th in team batting average. Javier Baez and Kris Bryant split leading the team in major offensive categories. Bryant has been more efficient at the plate (.279 avg, .360 OBP, and 67 hits) while Baez has been more of the slugger (16 HR’s, 44 RBI’s).

Free Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Prediction:
The Cubs have been tough to beat all season, especially at Wrigley Field, where they are 25-13 in 38 home games. They were shutout last night but I don’t see that happening again in the series finale.
Eli Morgan takes the mound for the Indians and carries a 0-1 record in only 2 appearances this season with a 12.79 ERA. That contrasts in sharp comparison to Kyle Hendricks who has an NL 2nd most wins with 9 and a 4.13 ERA.
Take Chicago to bounce back here in front of their home crowd before hitting the road for 10 games.
