Recent Performance


The Cubs have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games. After securing two convincing victories against the Brewers, where they scored 10 and 6 runs respectively, their momentum was halted by a shutout loss in their most recent game. Despite this setback, the North Side's offensive capabilities remain potent, as evidenced by their impressive slugging percentage of .564 in one of those wins.


Pitching has been another area where the Cubs have excelled recently. In two out of three games against Milwaukee, they managed to keep opponents' batting averages below .200 while maintaining a low ERA. The bullpen has been particularly effective with an ERA close to zero during these outings.

Upcoming Matchup


Facing off against the Giants will be no easy task for Chicago. The G-Men are known for their strategic play and solid pitching staff. However, playing at home gives the Cubs an edge; Wrigley Field's unique atmosphere often energizes players and fans alike.


As both teams take to this iconic venue on May 6th at 7:40 PM ET (broadcasted on NBCS-BA), it will be crucial for Chicago's hitters like Cody Bellinger and Dansby Swanson to capitalize on scoring opportunities early in the game while pitchers aim to maintain control over San Francisco’s lineup.
