Jorge Soler is back, and the Cubs can win this series against the Marlins. Mat Latos has had an up-and-down year (most of it seems to be tough luck), and here’s hoping he has a down day. Perhaps Soler can greet him as he did in his first career at bat.
Kyle Hendricks – who’s been improving this year – takes the ball against a scuffling Marlins offense.
