Tonight, the Cubs get their shot at winning the NL Central while pushing the Chicago White Sox even further down in the postseason seeding. And they’ll do it with Jon Lester on the mound and Kris Bryant back at third base. Tonight could be a very good night.
With that said, this could be a very tough night for Lester. The White Sox have a 141 wRC+ against lefties this season (2nd in MLB) and they tagged him for 8 runs on 9 hits (4 HRs) over 3.2 IP in Lester’s worst start of the year in August.
