Pre-Gamin’: Cubs at Marlins (6:10 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Chicago Cubs have a chance to sweep the Marlins tonight, and they’ll do it with Cole Hamels on the mound.

Hamels, like Quintana before him, had an excellent start leading into this series against the marlins and has a good matchup, with Miami struggling against southpaws all season long.

I think I speak for all of us, when I say that a sweep would feel disproportionately good right now, even if it against a weaker opponent. The Cubs have some wins to make up, and these are the sort of games for it to happen. Go Cubs.
