Can Misiorowski’s Wall Finally Be Breached Today?

As a Cubs fan, it is nice to see a winning team. I’m not talking about a team that occasionally does well, or is hunting for a playoff spot in late September, I’m talking about a team that isn’t floating around .500. The Cubs are 17 games above that mark entering today, and while the season is far from over, I’m happy to see this team get a little bit of success under their belt already. They are hitting the ball for power, for average, stealing bases, and actually looking like a big market team. We will see if they open the pocketbook a bit and extend Kyle Tucker and do what they need to do at the trade deadline, but for now, all is well on the north side of Chicago. Taking the rock today is Jameson Taillon. He has put together a very nice campaign this year with a 7-3 mark and a 3.48 ERA. Perhaps most impressive, though, is his WHIP which stands at 0.98 for the year. He has struckout as many hitters this year as he has allowed hits. If he avoids the longball, he isn’t allowing many runs outside of those. Brewers hitters do have the benefit of familiarity against Taillon, facing him 133 times and getting 34 hits.
