Chicago Cubs Analysis

The Cubs will start lefty Steele in what's anticipated to be an intense battle on Labor Day. Steele is 11-2 with a 2.46 ERA when pitching at home, and 4-0 with a 3.41 ERA in his past 6 starts. The Chicago Cubs have had a strong second half of the season, winning 30 of their 46 games and moving up the standings. Ranked #6 in offense , they score 5.01 runs per game and are #14 in defense , with a 4.09 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. They have also hit 162 homers and stolen 115 bases. On Labor Day, they will start lefty Steele, who was 4-0 with a 3.41 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP in his six starts last month. Steele has also been a consistent winner at home, posting an 11-2 record with a 2.46 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP in his 15 outings at Wrigley.

Webb's Struggles Cause Hesitation, Steele Steady Brightens Chances of Victory

Webb has struggled on the road this season, surrendering 35 hits and 14 runs (13 earned) in his past five starts. His last two starts resulted in losses and three starts ago he allowed four runs and nine hits. Given his current form, I am hesitant to trust Webb against the in-form Cubs, who are averaging 5.7 runs per game since the All-Star break. Steele, however, has demonstrated steady and consistent performance this year, particularly in day games. He is 8-2 with a 2.47 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP in 15 starts. Facing the Giants, who are batting .220 with a .295 OBP in the second half and scoring an average of only 3.7 runs per game, Steele is likely to earn his 12th victory of the season in familiar conditions.
