Will the Cubs Outshine the Giants Under Sloan Park's Lights?

As the Chicago Cubs prepare to face off against the San Francisco Giants at Sloan Park, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming preseason game, scheduled for March 22nd at 1:05 PM MST, promises to be an exciting encounter in Mesa, Arizona.

Analyzing past games data reveals that the Cubs have had a mixed bag of results. In their last game against Colorado Rockies, they managed a narrow victory with a final score of 5-2. Their hitting was on point with nine hits and five runs scored without committing any errors. The bullpen showed strength with an ERA of 2.25 and a WHIP of just 0.75 over eight innings pitched.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Cubs as evidenced by their previous game against Oakland Athletics where they only managed one hit and one run throughout the entire game while maintaining a clean sheet defensively.

The most recent home game saw them lose to Arizona Diamondbacks with only six hits leading to one run while allowing four runs on nine hits from Diamondbacks' offense.

Despite these fluctuations, there are positive signs in terms of pitching where starters have maintained low ERAs and WHIPs across these games indicating strong opening performances from pitchers taking the mound first.

Sloan Park could play into this strength; its expansive outfield may give pitchers more confidence in allowing fly balls knowing that their fielders have ample space to make plays.

Cubs fans can watch this intriguing matchup live on MARQ network as both teams look forward to sharpening skills before regular season play begins. Will Sloan Park witness another solid start from Cubs' pitchers? Can hitters find consistency and drive in more runs? These questions will be answered when both teams take the field under Mesa's lights.
