"The Cubs enter their first road trip of the season at .500 after splitting with the Nationals and Angels, so they will need to play better baseball if they want to return home with a winning record."
"One big reason the Cubs didn't make more noise in October last year was the absence of Cade Horton, who cracked a rib during his final regular-season start."
"Being able to pitch with the efficiency of a contact guy while also improving his whiff rate will make Horton an ace."
"Craig Counsell is going with his southpaw lineup, bumping Nico Hoerner into the leadoff role."
The Cubs begin their first road trip of the season at .500 after splitting games with the Nationals and Angels. They face the Guardians and Rays in nine consecutive interleague games. The team celebrates the 10th anniversary of their World Series win, with expectations high for playoff success. Cade Horton, who missed last year's postseason due to injury, has shown promise in his recent starts. The lineup features changes, including Nico Hoerner in the leadoff spot, as the team seeks to enhance offensive performance.
