The Cubs can win this three-game series against the Mets tonight, but they’ll have to go through Jacob deGrom to do it. Here’s David Ross lineup for Game 2 at Citi Field.
Chicago Cubs Lineup:
- Zach McKinstry, SS
- Seiya Suzuk, RF
- Franmil Reyes, DH
- Ian Happ, LF
- Rafael Ortega, CF
- Yan Gomes, C
- Patrick Wisdom, 3B
- Alfonso Rivas, 1B
- David Bote, 2B
SP: Adrian Sampson, RHP
Today, it’s Zach McKinstry’s turn taking over shortstop for Nico Hoerner. But with Chris Morel on the bench, David Bote is stepping back in to cover second, with Patrick Wisdom at third base.
Morel’s absence also leaves center field open for Rafael Ortega, who homered last night.
As usual, we’ll have your full Pre-Gamin’ post closer to game time. And in case you missed it, we’re being petty today, with our eyes on spoiling life for the Mets.
